Trenton, Gibson County I had a single Chimney Swift on Monday, March 31 but today (April 4) I watched about 200 swifts drop out of the sky and into the big chimney at the Gibson County Courthouse in Trenton. I believe that these were new arrivals that were taking cover from the heavy rains. I also had a couple of Vesper Sparrows east of Trenton near Gibson County Lake. On a non-bird but interesting wildlife note - I had a full albino White-tailed Deer today east of Trenton near Gibson County Lake. It was a young deer and there was another with it which was about the same size and it was a lighter than normal color but you could see the spotting on its back. I tried to get a picture but they stayed just far enough away that it only showed up as a white spec on my camera!
