Observation details
As we finished the transect, at the quebrada, a pair of swifts flew slowly over us and then towards the east. I got off a couple of photos and as the birds flew off I heard a long whistle similar to the call of a Lesser or Greater Swallow-tailed Swift; the swift I photographed however looks more like a Chaetura and appears to have a white forehead (apparently fitting description of White-chinned Swift!!). Almost immediately a second pair of swifts followed suit circling over me while I tried to get off some photos. This second pair is evidently Chestnut-collared, because although the photos are terrible, they do show chestnut collar on at least one bird, and a longer squarish tail compared to the first bird photographed.
