Why it matters
The Vaux's Swift is a remarkable avian traveler, easily identified in flight by its distinctive pointed wings and short, squared or slightly forked tail. These birds are highly specialized aerial insectivores that have famously adapted to nesting in large, hollowed-out redwood trees and, in modern times, inside vertical masonry chimneys throughout their North American range.
