Black Swift. Lake Elsinore, CA 5/6/2016
Observation details
One found around 4:30 PM by Charity Hagen. She returned and met me there, and we were able to see two flying high above the outflow channel and then they flew south towards the inflow channel and levee. (Two of this species were seen and photographed at this exact location last year on 5/24/2015.) Both were larger than nearby Cliff & Northern Rough-winged Swallows. Dark all over. Long wings that were pointed and swept back. Plump bodies. Notched tails, that would fan out occasionally(see photo). Mostly soared, with occasional slow wing beats. Photos attached.
