[CT Birds] Mystery Bird

[zellene sandler]

Brian, I considered the sandpipers, but the way this bird was circling over
the water and gleaning insects just didn't fit the pattern. Body shape was
also a bit too plump. In shape it was more like a swift, with a tiny fan of
a tail but none of the swifts or swallows have the correct markings. If you
look at pics of the black bellied plover with black under the wings, that
is sort of what it looked like, but as far as I know, plovers don't behave
this way either.
