At approx. 6:20 pm we saw one Chimney Swift from our balcony, borne on the SW winds about 20 min before the thunderstorm hit. We have only lived here for 4 years, but we usually see our first Swifts in the first few days of May.
We are in a building at the southeast corner of the 401 and Yonge St. in Toronto, looking a little south of east off the balcony.

From the west, exit the 401 at Avenue Rd., south to >Wilson, east (left) to Yonge St., north to Lord Seaton. Either way, get into >the neighbourhood and listen for the characteristic chittering. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
