Black Swift, Summer Tanager [El Paso County]

[Stephen Getty]

COBirders,

 

Black Swift: A noon squall in the Broadmoor neighborhood pushed tens of swallows, 2 White-tailed Swifts, and 1 Black Swift down to circle/feed on a lake (Stratton Reservoir, I think). The lake 1.5 km east of the Broadmoor at corner of Lake and Springmeadow Drives. I returned with camera but all swallows and swifts had moved on (steady stream of swallows all day).

 

Summer Tanager: female in neighborhood immediately south of Bear Creek Regional Park.
