[cobirds] Vaux's Swift/Larimer

Yesterday I  had what appeared to be a Vaux's Swift flying around Lee Martinez Park in Fort Collins. The bird was between mile marker 0.5 on the Poudre Bike trail and a small wetland west of there. Overall this bird looked smaller, and had a paler chin/underparts compared to Chimney Swift and it's flight pattern was a bit different compared to CHSW. The wing structure also seemed to be less curvy compared to CHSW.  I got a poor video before it flew out of view.
