This morning, at Carleton School (Yarmouth county), I heard a different sort
of a chittering sound on high, and three small, brown cigars with wings
semi-circled on high over the schoolyard and took off.  They WERE pretty
high, so definite identification wasn't possible.  The throat on one looked
a little light, but I saw no breast band.  I saw no signs of forked tails.
So I suspect swifts

 

Thirty- to forty-odd years ago, we saw both swifts and bank swallows in Lake
Annis, not too far away from Carleton.  Guess the swifts liked some of the
old cottage chimneys, while the bank swallows had nests on the side of an
old semi-excavated drumlin.
