As I was waiting
in the car, I noticed a line of doves sitting on the utility wire. I
thought it seemed odd as they were so large and long. I took a photo in
bad lighting, but it revealed a white stripe on the nape, so I knew I'd
seen my first Band-tailed Pigeon. A bit later I saw a swift whose
description matched a Vaux's Swift and again the Chimney Swift came up
rare on eBird, so I don't believe it was that. That was my 41st life
bird on this trip! It sure has been fun to see new birds!
