Chimney Swifts in Lindsay
Just spent 4 hours on Kent St. as part of the Lindsay & District
Horticulture Society Spring Plant Sale, so I had time to try and
photograph the the flying buzz bombs. A long lens on a high mounted
tripod drew many curious people to inquire as to what I was trying to
photograph.
We had four birds (appeared to be 2 pair) for over three hours. They
were airborne at multi levels of aerobatic flights, which supplied the
watchers with new interest and questions to us about the Chimney
Swifts.
It also allowed us the opportunity to educate them of the ongoing work
of EcoStewards, to restore and/or create new habitat, like the three
new towers that we are presently building in Omemee,
