Swift..... Not sure if black is in range but that's what it looks like.

Either Chimney or Vaux's, in California they would be Vaux's. Black are darker overall with a forked tail (and quite difficult birds to see).

Looks like Vaux's to me, with that short, spiky tail and brown throat.

Thank you for your help!

I agree with Vaux's Swift. We get the occasional Black Swift here. They usually come singly or in pairs. Vaux's pile up into the hundreds.
