[cobirds] VAUX'S SWIFT -- Pueblo April 18

Chris Knight discovered a Vaux's Swift along the Arkansas River, near and west of Valco Ponds parking lot in Pueblo, with a mass of swallows (six species) around 12:25pm today.  I was able to get to the area, and was able to find it.  The bird moved back and forth over the Arkansas River, from Valco Ponds parking lot, west to the footbridge, that goes from Snakeskin Picnic Area into the Rock Canyon Swim Beach.  A few other birders that were nearby, we able to see it.  Last saw it at 2:48pm, just West of Valco Ponds parking lot.  The swift had very pale rump and light throated.  There's cloudy weather forecasted for tomorrow, so there should be lots of swallows around, so hopefully the swift will hang around, though never know of course.
