When I had checked the Chimney Swift roost at KUA August 11 there were only 85 swifts, down from a high of 144 on July 31.  My husband was kind enough to come with me on August 14 to check the science building chimney while I watched the power plant to see if the swifts had changed chimneys liked they did last year.

There was no migration to the secondary chimney which only had 1 swift enter it.  The power plant chimney only had 36!  I unfortunately could not count again until last night, August 23.  At one point I did see a high of 3 swifts flying around, but only 1 entered the chimney.
