All:

With all the excellent reporting on swifts, I wonder If I might insert  
a request that someone try for a good photo of one of them in flight,  
preferably from the side with wings full extended, like the one that  
Hans Toom photographed late in the wake of Hurricane "Wilma." See it at:

        http://www.hanstoom.com/images/ChimneySwift1.jpg

That bird seems to have some features of Vaux's (which some were  
looking for after "Wilma" stormed in from the Caribbean). Although it  
probably would not be enough for  acceptance on a NS list, the  
comparison would be instructive nonetheless.

Hopefully, Ian

Ian McLaren
