Darlene Sillick has been reporting on her counting of the Chimney Swifts at the 1919
Building of Sells Middle School on Rt. 33/161 in the center of Dublin. Hundreds of Swifts
gather at dusk in a noisy "traffic circle", and drop into a disused chimney for the night.
I dropped over with my camera Tuesday night, and enjoyed the sight. A few images are
posted at: http://www.k8nd.com/Local_Critters/Photos_ChimneySwift/index.htm, but still
photos cannot convey the exciting experience!
Darlene has an article about the Chimney Swifts in the latest Columbus Audubon "Song
Sparrow" newsletter, and her full article is on the web at:
