[va-bird] Re: Chimney Swifts and Nighthawks

On Wednesday evening I stole a few precious moments to visit the swifts at 
Jackson Middle School on Gallows Road.  The swirling clouds and birds made 
for a very beatiful dusk hour.  I was able to gauge about 300/minute dropping 
in to the roost.

Two county school maintenance workers were present, enjoying the sight.  I 
asked if they had heard any talk about the preservation of the chimney for 
the birds and they had not, however one gentleman mentioned that he is 
building a roost chimney for the birds at his new home.  This was very 
encouraging to hear!
