[cobirds] VAUX'S SWIFT Pueblo
Van and I found a small dark swift over the Arkansas River, west of Pueblo Nature Center. Photos show light throat. With lots of swallows. The accepted record was 28 April, so I think this is good.

[cobirds] VAUX'S SWIFT -- Pueblo County 4/28
This morning around 7:17am I photographed a swift along the Arkansas River, below Pueblo Reservoir dam, west of the Cottonwood Picnic Area on the south side of the River. The bird was flying with swallows (mostly Violet-greens). I felt like the bird wasn't a Chimney Swift while watching it. I was able to get four photos. Chris Wood from Cornell (e-bird) has looked at the photos, and is good with this bird being a VAUX'S SWIFT (which would be Colorado's 1st State Record)! Photos can be seen on my flickr site. https://www.flickr.com/photos/brandonsbirdphotos/ I have no clue, if the bird is still around, the swallows were getting higher up. Maybe it is worth looking early tomorrow morning, though I don't know if it is worth coming to try to find it or not. No other birders were around, when I was seeing it for a few minutes, before it disappeared.
