Observation details
At least one, possibly two. Circled a number of times, obvious chaetura swift, dark cigar-shaped body and fast, fluttering wingbeats. No vocalizations. Though Vaux's Swift is *somewhat* the expected species at this location (though neither are expected), I believe the photos are diagnostic for Vaux's with the wing shape-- evenly slender and tapered, lacking the bulging primaries of Chimney
