Helping to unravel the mysteries of the black swift
Some great background info and video on one of our rarest birds in the Surrey area. This cryptic insectivore nests near waterfalls and other steep terrain with moist microclimates.

Thanks to one of our top observers, Frank Lin (@fylin), we've had these chunky cousins of the nighthawk identified in Surrey over the past few summers (https://inaturalist.ca/observations/125136000).
Which begs the question, where exactly are they nesting? We don't really have steep canyon-like areas or high waterfalls!
