Vaux's Swift (Chaetura vauxi) - 01Jun2021

This very close relative to the Chimney Swift has very little overlap in range.  The Chimney mainly sticks east of the Rockies and the Vaux's are west of the Rockies. I photographed this Vaux's in Eugene Oregon where they are common. I was careful to check with Merlin on the sound ID. I think only one Chimney Swift has been documented in Eugene back in 2014 so I was fairly positive the ID.
