| | Treeswift family |
 | | Because treeswifts forage rather like swallows, and have glossy plumage, they were once thought to be a missing link between swifts and swallows, back when swifts and swallows were considered closely related. |
 | | As a group, treeswifts occur in a wide range of natural habitats, from mangroves to evergreen hill forests, but all are to some extent dependent on forest. |
 | | As to treeswifts, the species accounts seem to be okay but there is only a cursory discussion of the group as a family, leaving one wishing for a lot more. |
