Abstract

The bird was found deceased at a beachside home in Pensacola, Florida, on January 25, 1981. The top photo gives a side view of the swift while the second shows the bird on its back with its wings expanded, revealing the white feathers around its neck and the lighter-colored feathers on the underside of its wings.
