For those who have seen the White-Throated Swifts at Gloss Mountain State Park.
I attempted to see the swifts by parking in the parking lot and walking the trail up to the mesa (Cathedral Mesa), and then walking the trail until the end where the fence is and then looking across to the northeast corner of the smaller mesa (Lone Peak mesa where the swift are seen) from the trail's end, but did not see the swifts after three hours.
Are those seeing the swifts climbing up the trail and looking for the swifts from the mesa south of the mesa the swifts are at (Tophead mesa) or are you driving on the county road and parking north of the Tophead mesa and looking for the swifts at ground level from the north?
I was looking to make another trip up there but wanted to see the location most people were successfully seeing the swifts from.

Right now at least 3 White-throated Swift can be seen at small mesa at northern part of Gloss Mountain State Park. Just came in.
Views of them can be seen on east of small mesa and west of small mesa.. They are flying over large mesa and in between smaller mesa and large one.
