[wwg <wwg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Probably not earth-shaking, but I was observing chimney swifts about 8 pm 
over downtown Kingsport. For several years, I have seen them gathering at 
dusk to go into their roost in a chimney that was between Charlemont, 
Watauga, and Sullivan streets. Tonight, I realized that they were gathering 
about a block further south --- on the other side of Sullivan street.  When 
I went there, they were circling and entering a different chimney. I 
thought it was interesting, especially since this change of roosts had 
apparently occurred over the summer.  I wonder if someone has plugged or 
screened the former chimney.
