Index of Subjects Hi Cindy, I talked to the homeowners who live beside the Oxford chimney today, and they tell me the Chimney Swifts are still using the chimney even now. Have you seen any Chimney Swifts around Springhill since the spring, and were you able to track them to a roost site? I've found it tricky to locate new roost sites this year, especially with the poor weather we often had when I left work in the evenings!

This year, they are back, but there are at least four that I've seen all at the same time, over our houses again. I don't know where there is a vacant chimney in town but I know there are some abandoned houses. We'll have to investigate further and try to find out where they are roosting. There is a colony in Oxford as well, that roost in the old foundry chimney. We've spoken to some people who live across from it and they say the swifts are there this year. Not sure of the numbers. Cheers, Cindy Creighton Springhill cindycreighton@gmail.com
