Re: [cobirds] very late White-throated Swifts, Pueblo County, Lake Pueblo State Park

I took photos of one of like 200 White-throated Swifts on November 1st that Margie Joy and I saw (which was the latest ones for Colorado I believe at the time).  Last week, another birder in Pueblo saw around six White-throated Swifts near Pueblo Reservoir (hopefully the e-bird reviewers will a
