2019-03-07 Camino a Playa de Oro (col), Mexico Subspecies: mexicana Adults. It can be difficult to see the complete white collared under some circumstances, picture 2 (picture 3 same but lightened), why it is necessary to notice other field marks as well. In this case, the deeply forked tail is a good clue to separate the species from the otherwise very similar White-naped Swift. However, as seen in picture 4 even this can cheat if the tail is completely spread out... A good flock of 100 present this day. |
