Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Black Swift over Point Loma, ~7:30AM
     Long, slim, pointed wings; short tail; swift size & shape body.
Appeared all dark but under the clouds, probably most birds would.
Circling lazily high but under heavy cloud cover, occasionally flapping
a little. I was at first uncertain because the wings were pretty much
straight out, and I expected them to curve back, but I've now found lot
of photos showing them fly with wings fairly straight. We were on
Silvergate Ave; the bird was east of the end of Warner St.
