House Swift at Bacnotan

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

It's over a week now that I've been observing these small jet-like birds hawking insects over my mother's backyard at Bacnotan, La Union.
They can be seen from about 9 am all the way to nearly 5 pm, feeding non-stop from the insects attracted by blooming mango trees.
