I started my day with my FOY Chimney Swifts at the Richmond Conservation
Land in Orford with Bill Shepard and finished the day with a Chimney Swift
spectacle in Lebanon. I read the post from Pam Hunt on the NH listserv
about the need to locate Chimney Swift roosts in NH and Vt. I knew that
swifts roost in the chimney of the old Junior High on Bank St. because I
worked there for fifteen years and saw them several times entering or
exiting the chimney. As I had a 6:00 meeting in Leb, I thought I would
check the chimney at dusk.  When I arrived at 7:30, 6 swifts were flying
over the parking lot, playing fields and over the Rail Trail area. As it
got closer to 8:00, it got harder to count them whirling around, but I knew
there were more than 20. They were actually quite easy to count as they
entered the chimney one by one to roost right before 8:00, I counted 31!  I
plan to try again Monday night right before 8:00. If anyone wants to join
me, I could use another set of eyes.
