Vaux's Swift update

[Brandon]

Birders continued to see the Vaux's Swift off and on all day along the Arkansas River, from east of Juniper Road below Pueblo Reservoir dam east all the way to the Pueblo West Gravel Pit area.  Where ever the big flocks of swallows are, seems to be where the one Vaux's Swift is.  Birders with good cameras, should still attempt to get photos, since I don't think anyone has had much success getting a photo that shows the pale rump and pale throat.  I think now nearly 20 birders have seen the bird, so hopefully everyone will submit their descriptions to the Colorado Birds Records Committee.  I think before yesterday, only a handful of people had seen this species in Colorado.  Hopefully it will be found again tomorrow and many more people can see it.
