Bob's comments and information are the heart of what makes TN-Birds so  
great. Concise and exact information from a true expert. Info is most  
appreciated 
from those that take the time to really look into just what and  why these 
birds do what they do.
 
I don't remember but has this bird been banded? If so great, if not  why not? 
It would be a shame if this bird left without being banded so that  if 
re-encountered he would further our understanding of what these  birds are 
doing. 
Ben Coffey banded thousands of Chimney Swifts for years and  then his were 
among 
the first bands recovered from a native's necklace in South  America and the 
mystery of the disappearing swifts was solved. This bird might  be the first 
relocated on its home territory or recaptured on its way to or from  its 
wintering location next year just as others have been found in route. Now  that 
would truly make his visit a remarkable one. 
 
Bob thanks again for the interesting insights to these wonderful  creatures.  

Good  Birding!!!
