Yea, on heavy overcast days they regularly come down from the mountains in the summer to feed over lakes nearby Seattle. Not common, but definitely not hard to find around here.

Seems I remembered it wrong, rarest swift. https://www.audubon.org/news/where-find-rarest-swift-north-america 2. They are IUCN Vulnerable. 3. Seems like you always sweep in when what I say isn't strictly accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, that's just the way he is (no offense intended whatsoever @Connor Cochrane). @Bombycilla Cedorum can be that way too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care if what you say is factual or not. However, in this situation you presented an arguable claim on an online forum without citing any evidence. Black swift have a fairly large range across North America, so I wanted to know why you thought it was the rarest bird, that’s all.

I remembered it wrong and was hasty to post it- possibly I also mixed it up with Black Rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
