After studying my photos and listening to audio samples of closely related genus and species such as swallows, swift, martins, etc. The chimney swift is the perfect match. This is a sample of the aerial songs. http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/wwwsounds/birds/hardy33sh.wav

Heavily cropped shot of bird in flight. Silhouette distinctive. Heard it chittering, observed it feeding for about five minutes. This is the only shot I managed to get. These are confirmed nesters in the village of Alma, about a kilometer away.

Spent some time with the Trinity River Audubon Center folks in setting up a iNat project. It's off to a great start! :) After the meeting, I spent some time walking around the grounds for a bit. This is my entry for hummingbird week -- it's a bit lame, but still, evidence of chimney swifts! TRAC has this chimney that hosts swifts each year -- looking forward to seeing them when they come.
