CLOSED: No Pic

Very dark/black appearing. Shape. type of flight is like swallows or swifts but it is a larger looking bird. White bars/stripes on the bottom side of the wings. Clearly chasing bugs in flight. To fast so I have not been able to get a pic!

Thanks for any help!

Juvenile Purple Martin?

Resin

Whoops....forgot that part; It's a Common Nighthawk

Yes!!! I have it on my bird lis,t but is one of very few that I have not gotten at least a bad pic of. Thank you so much! I was having no luck looking for it!

I always hear those things in the evening flying overhead in parking lots. Go to the cornell site and listen to it's call - it is probably familiar!!
