Swifts do indeed seem to do quite well in downtown Toronto. We were in =
Toronto in June of last year from the 10th to the 14th and we stayed in =
a hotel next to the old Maple Leaf Gardens at College and Yonge. Every =
night the swifts would swarm and circle like they were going in to =
roost. I was only able to spend a couple of minutes watching each time =
and I never did find out the actual roost building. The sight lines are =
poor and the buildings very tall. Maybe they are Maple Leaf fans? There =
was quite a noisy group and you could clearly hear them over the very =
considerable traffic noise in that area.

Subject: Chimney Swifts in Toronto
Jim,
Last week I visited my daughter and granddaughter who live in =
Toronto, a couple of hundred meters west of Yonge St, two blocks north =
of Eglinton Avenue; a rather busy and highly developed part of the city. =
Sitting in her (miniscule) back yard during the early evening I could =
see and hear chimney swifts flying overhead. I stayed out until dusk and =
sure enough, several small (3 or 4 birds) groups began circling overhead =
and ultimately entered the chimney of a Post Office building that =
fronted on Yonge St. I couldn=92t get a good fix on the chimney as they =
entered; I would guess between 10 and 20 birds. Not a large group but =
interesting to see them being able to make a living in =93downtown=94 =
Toronto.
George
