Hi all, Yesterday night at 10.20 PM, I heard the Great Horned Owl call from somewhere near my house from Six Miles Creek side. He called for a few minutes. Yesterday evening, when I waiting for the bus at BTI bus stop on Cornell campus, a co-passenger and I watched about 30 to 40 Chimney Swifts swirling in the sky. There used to be four or five that circled on and off this summer in front of my office windows that probably were breeding in Vet Tower. May be now these are joined by other campus birds along with their young.
Or could they have been a migrating flock? Does anyone know about Chimney Swift migration?
