I counted at DeLaSalle high school on Nicollet Island. I had one bird go
in, with possibly a second, too.

Is this the result of a late cold spring, birds are still on the nest?

Re: [mou-net] Swift count, Hennepin county or Ramsey

2014-08-03 Thread Gordon Andersson
I counted 66 birds going down the chimney at the school across the street in St 
Paul.   But they have been roosting there all spring & summer for many years.   
These are all non-breeding birds unless the breeding pairs are heading to the 
Amazon already.  

I wouldn’t go back to the same place again.  Someone on this list might have 
seen swifts in their neighborhood in W metro and could tell give you the 
location to do a count there.   I know they are seenby many in different 
locations, but not all of them are counted.   
Maybe someone can communicate with Curt.

I have counted twice this weekend and not had one swift fly in.
I'd like a little encouragement before I "count" tonight. Have you seen many 
birds when you were counting? Please reply to the MOU thread, not to me. Others 
might need a pep talk, too.

Thanks!
Curt

All the birds in my SW Minneapolis neighborhood are on young still.  Need some 
time for them to fledge young, then count.
