On Tuesday, Sept. 21, I had a large flock of Chimney Swifts actively foraging
through the Simerly Creek Road "valley" at my home in Hampton, TN, in Carter
County. I conservatively estimated at least 75 swifts. At times, some swifts
swooped quite low to the ground, possibly only 12-15 feet above the ground.
I've seen bigger flocks of swifts, but not at my home.
I also had six species of warblers â?? Hooded, Ovenbird, Magnolia, American
Redstart, Black-throated Blue and Common Yellowthroat. The Hooded, a male, sang
persistently for at least 10 minutes.
Other migrants included Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, which are still fairly
numerous at the feeders.
