The upper white-rumped swift (Shambarai swamp) is courtesy of Alex Rees; the 2nd row (Maasai Steppe), courtesy Per Holmen. The small left white-rumped swift in flight was photographed in Katavi NP, courtesy of Silas Olofson; the right, Mara River, courtesy of Paul Oliver. The bird in hand was one of a pair looking for a place to nest on Chris Schmeling's veranda and both ended up in the house (Lake Eyasi). Note the deeply forked tail, white throat patch and narrow white rump.
