Re: [cayugabirds-l] Chimney Swifts

I have a good colony of chimney swifts in my old house just north of Aurora.  
I've been taking them rather for granted for years--and maybe I should 
celebrate them as well as enjoy them.  I will attempt to do a count--

As Jody said would be hard to tell at this point. They were in smaller groups 
kind of merging and parting. Perhaps an opportune feeding moment. Definitely 
notable to me due to good numbers.

I ran a USGS BBS route last week that goes through Ithaca on Green St. with the 
library as one of the stops. I only had 5 or so Chimney Swifts at that time. I 
wonder if several groups have merged (there were other small groups of swifts 
at nearby stops), or maybe there are some recently fledged young in the group 
you saw. I'm not sure how one would be able to differentiate the young though. 
I love those Swifts with their enthusiastic chattering.

There are approximately 10 Swifts foraging and twittering over the Tompkins 
County library. They so gladden me. I hope they’re finding enough to eat.
