Fellow Tweetsters, I was hoping someone else was in the vicinity last
Saturday morning to identify the mystery birds: The silhouettes (all I
saw) looked like swallows, but the wings were longer and the curve "broke"
closer to the body than swallow wings--that was the jizz I saw at 55 mph
on the freeway with no place and no time to stop.

I hope some of you ace birders were at the Everett sewage ponds or Spencer
Island and looking west, toward I-5, at about 8-8:30 A.M. last Saturday.
If so, did you see anything like what I described, flying over the
freeway? I'm wondering if they were swifts.
Thanks in advance! --Anna Coles, Seattle, WA acoles at u.washington.edu
