I counted 66 birds going down the chimney at the school across the street in St Paul. But they have been roosting there all spring & summer for many years. These are all non-breeding birds unless the breeding pairs are heading to the Amazon already.
I wouldn’t go back to the same place again. Someone on this list might have seen swifts in their neighborhood in W metro and could tell give you the location to do a count there. I know they are seenby many in different locations, but not all of them are counted. Maybe someone can communicate with Curt. g andersson st paul -----Original Message----- From: Minnesota Birds [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Curt Rawn Sent: Sunday, August 03, 2014 6:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mou-net] Swift count, Hennepin county or Ramsey I have counted twice this weekend and not had one swift fly in. I'd like a little encouragement before I "count" tonight. Have you seen many birds when you were counting? Please reply to the MOU thread, not to me. Others might need a pep talk, too. Thanks!
