Swift Release
7109 140905-0906 "Swift Release"
Yesterday, September 4+, 2014, we attended the "Juvenile
Chimney Swift Release"++
event since we were very fortunate to get this event info from Julie, a
naturalist, in a timely manner: "Thank you, Julie." Four young chimney swifts
were released to join a group of about 1,000 migrating chimney swifts. The group
is currently living in a chimney at
Mahtomedi High School, Minnesota.
It was awesome to see the four young swifts joining the group and then the group
going down to the chimney, one after another;
sometime between sunset and 20
minutes after sunset+++,
about 1,000 chimney swifts flew overhead from all directions, circled, and
congregated above the roost chimney. Then, they dove into the chimney like a
sort of tornado to settle in for a long night-rest.
