Black Swifts have been seen frequently seen over Lost Lagoon! 🖤 Sleek and streamlined, these master aerial acrobats forage around Lost Lagoon and Beaver Lake for insects. They have even been seen right by our Nature House! Black Swifts are very particular about their breeding grounds- they nest on cliffs and rock ledges behind waterfalls, usually in dark, hidden areas. We believe the ones we see around the Park nest behind waterfalls in the mountains of the North Shore. In the fall, they migrate down to Central and South America, including the lowland forests of Brazil 🌎 📸 Frank Lin (fb)
