19 swifts that we profile appear on Brazil's eBird-reported checklist. The full A–Z list is on this page; the real total can shift as eBird records are added.

Are all of these swifts really found there?

Yes — each one is on Brazil's eBird checklist (reported by birders to the Cornell Lab's eBird), and each of these swifts belongs to the family group named on this page. We don't rank them by abundance, because that varies by season and locale.
