Channel 12- WISN TV Ben Hutchinson came out to Okauchee to see and report
on the Chimney Swift show! Thanks to Ann Soderman and Mandy Feavel for
sharing on-air. Mandy released 7 rehabbed Swifts that were brought in as
infant chicks. Local people as well as bird watchers were amidst the
30-ish people at the site last night, a beautiful evening!

Hope you get to see this migrating roosting Swift behavior either at
Okauchee or some other area soon. While they'll be back next year, right
now we have great numbers to see for roosting. Based on length of day,
temperature, food supply, and internal clocks - the Swifts will soon be
migrating on their way to Brazil and Peru, South America.
Keep your eye out for any other gatherings of these Swifts at sunset, and
let us know what you find!
Thanks to everyone!
