> Hi all,
> 
> I had trouble uploading the promised YouTube clip of the Temperance Street School Chimney Swifts from May 28 2011, but I was finally successful. To view the clip, Google "youtube temperance street swifts" or follow the link:
> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DwVh9bp3KA . I stopped in at the school on my way home to Port Bickerton last Friday (June 10 2011) and took a few photos as well, posted on my Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/ally_kz/5832910863/  (or go to Flickr.com and search "Temperance Street"). Ken counted between 550-600 swifts that night, which was a clear, calm but chilly evening at 11 degrees C (he hadn't yet totaled up the numbers when I left for home). Another amazing natural spectacle.
> 
> They're not the best photos, and I'm sure some of the very talented photographers on the listerv could do much better (hint, hint-I am looking for additional Chimney Swift photos).
