Like the swallows returning to Capistrano, the White-throated Swifts have returned to Castlewood Canyon State Park in Douglas County. According to eBird this is one of the earlier sightings in the last 10 years. With the earliest sighting in 2003 on March 16th. What makes this significant to me is that my 9-year-old son, Oliver, first heard them; then spotted them and made a positive identification. I could have given him the answer, but it served as a learning opportunity for him to let him make the call. In his good natured appraisal, the B.O.D. (Bird Of the Day) was the White-throated Swift.
