I happened to be out on my back lawn this evening, doing my doggy chores with head down looking intently at the lawn, when I heard a distinctive swift chitter overhead. Looked up and flock of 13 BLACK SWIFT circling just few hundred feet up over my house! They were idling about loosely, some circling, after a minute they switched back to more earnest travel mode and took off on a beeline north straight towards the Mt Soledad antennas. Time seen 6:27 pm, out of sight by 6:29 pm.
Noted in the eBird alerts today that Paul Lehman also saw 3 today in the morning in Point Loma.
