A large, whirling flock of chimney swifts appeared this afternoon at the high school chimney. There were several hundred, which would wheel around the chimney, radiate outward, twittering, and then spin back. A gorgeous sight! A dozen swifts nest here in summer, and more in the chimneys on Chardon Square, but we always get a nice batch migrating through in spring and fall.
