Observation details
photos I saw four over one of the ponds. I first noticed one nearly skimming the water, then two, then three, and then four, sometimes flying very close to me, even hovering. It was quite a show--by far the best views I've ever gotten of this species. They just kept flying around, dwarfing the swallows next to them, both eye level and up high. I think I may have actually captured one or two on "film" with my digital camera but I bet most if not all of the shots are blurry.
