Notes:
A bird that very much embodies the art of flight. Except when tending to nests, swifts never touch down at any point in their lives. Unlike swallows and martins these birds have a more loose flight style and the curved shape of the bird's wings is vastly different if you pay attention. Even at long range their fast-flapping curving flight style is distinctive.
