Abstract
Summary. The first records of Swallow Tanager Tersina viridis in Uruguay were made in 2012 and 2022 in different regions of the country. Together with other observations in central-south South America outside its usual distribution, these data appear to support the hypothesis that the species makes erratic movements in search of food during the austral winter non-breeding period. Alternatively, the new records could reflect an expansion of the species' distribution.
