The Swift River flows north to south through Central Massachusetts and is the primary waterway that supplies the Quabbin Reservoir. It is a relatively cold and rocky river passing through many deep valleys and hemlock ravines. This shot was taken from the bridge on Route 32A in Petersham on a stormy New Year's Day 2008.
Na teritoriju Republike Hrvatske od 10. do 29. lipnja 2019. godine održava se međunarodna vojna vježba Swift Response 19.
Riječ je o vježbi brigade 82. zračno-desantne divizije Zapovjedništva američke kopnene vojske za Europu (U.S. Army Europe - USAEUR) s jednom američkom bojnom i njenim zapovjedništvom te po jednom francuskom i britanskom bojnom sa združenim zapovjedništvom (Airborne Combined Joint Expeditionary Force - ACJEF).
Vježba Swift Response 19 provodi se na nekoliko lokacija u Hrvatskoj, Bugarskoj i Rumunjskoj, a u vježbi sudjeluju pripadnici osam savezničkih zemalja, 30-ak letjelica te 450 vozila.
Republika Hrvatska pruža potporu zemlje domaćina (host nation support - HNS) te pruža lokacije za razmještaj snaga i provođenje vježbovnih aktivnosti, a Hrvatska vojska sudjeluje u vježbi s jednom ojačanom satnijom Hrvatske kopnene vojske u ulozi snaga suprotne strane (Opposing force – OPFOR).

Just about every Friday, someone at work will make a call for a "swift pint" -- a quick happy hour beverage or two after work. I keep trying to take pictures at these things but I never seem to get good captures and this is the only decent one I've been able to get.

The white-rumped swift (Apus caffer) is a small swift. Although this bird is superficially similar to a house martin, it is not closely related to that passerine species. The resemblances between the swallows and swifts are due to convergent evolution reflecting similar life styles.
Swifts have very short legs that they use only for clinging to vertical surfaces. They never settle voluntarily on the ground, and spend most of their lives in the air, feeding on insects that they catch in their beaks. They drink on the wing.
White-rumped swifts breed in much of sub-Saharan Africa, and have expanded into Morocco and southern Spain. The populations in Spain, Morocco and the south of Africa are migratory, although their wintering grounds are not definitively known. Birds in tropical Africa are resident apart from seasonal movements.
This species appropriates the nests of little swifts and those swallows which build retort-shaped nests. In Europe and north Africa, this usually means the red-rumped swallow, but south of the Sahara other species like wire-tailed swallow are also parasitised. The original owners of the nests are driven away, or the white-rumps settle in the nest and refuse to move. Once occupied, the nest is lined with feathers and saliva, and one or two eggs are laid.
The habitat of this species is dictated by that of its hosts, and is therefore normally man-made structures such as bridges and buildings.
This 14-15.5 cm long species has, like its relatives, a short forked tail and long swept-back wings that resemble a crescent or a boomerang. It is entirely dark except for a pale throat patch and a narrow white rump. It is similar to the closely related little swift, but is slimmer, darker and has a more forked tail and a narrower white rump.
This is a quiet species compared to little swift, but a twittering trill is sometimes given.

Swift Fox
The Swift Fox, weighing in at a mere four pounds, is well adapted to survive in arid desert lands. Their large ears help them to hear underground prey. I would guess that the Swift Fox received it name because of its ability to outrun predators, and run down black-tailed jackrabbits as well as other elusive prey. It’s coloring helps him to blend into his surroundings and habitats.
The Swift Fox once inhabited all of the western North American States but their numbers have dropped dramatically as the plains were settled. Poison and traps used for wolves and coyotes also killed foxes. Swift Foxes are found in only 25% of their former range. Today private landowners are encouraged to conserve this endangered prairie resident.
