These birds are commonly found in open and semi-open habitats associated with bodies of water such as rivers, streams, and lakes within the lowland tropics. Their preference for water-rich environments allows them to feed effectively on flying insects, and their agile flight patterns are tailored to the fluctuating nature of these ecosystems. Admired for their sleek black plumage with contrasting white bands across their chests, they navigate through their habitats with grace and finesse.
