Thanks John. I love the swifts. What amazed me was that they did
courtship flights, paired in flight, tumbled while linked together in
a spiral fall while wildly chattering, then separated at the last
moment a few feet from the ground and flew off separately. And
luckily, my microphone was right under that spot so the would tumble
down to within a few feet of the microphone during these mating
episodes.
