Observation details
Seen first as dark swift with slowish flapping and frequent gliding; I took a couple of quick (unfortunately poor) photos before it continued westbound. Photos are silhouetted against gray morning sky and underexposed, but they appear to have elongated and curving wings and also a profile indicating a substantial tail (with a small fork?) There is little or no color contrast evident in the photos. Traveling with second bird which was further away and which I didn't pay much attention to.
