While helping my wife with a fun fair at West Hill Public School today, I was also able to enjoy the sight of quite a few chimney swifts cavorting close by during the morning set-up. Don't know where the colony might be roosting, but there were enough to make me believe that they are local, and not just a group of migrants.
Anyone wishing to check them out would find ample parking at the mall on the southeast corner of Morningside Ave. and Kingston Rd., GPS location 43.770683, -79.185142 Coming east or west along the 401, exit at Morningside Rd., Exit #387, and travel south approximately 4km -- Dave Bailey _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
