The Swifts are returning! A friend who lives near Avenue Rd. and Eglinton told me this evening that 5 or 6 of "her" swifts had returned. I went out on the balcony to have a look, and a lone Chimney Swift was coursing back and forth in front of the rising moon.
Directions: 1) Take Avenue Rd. south from the 401 to Eglinton. 2) I am just southeast of the intersection of Yonge St. and the 401. At all times, listen for the "chittering" at the same time as looking for them.
