I went to Mukwonago last evening to see if these swifts were still there. I was
not disappointed. I arrived about 6:45pm, sunset was 7:05 roughly. There was no
sign of any birds until all of a sudden at 7:14 a swirling mass appeared over
the chimney, and the last one dropped in at 7:25 pm. Short but sweet!

Subject: [wisb] Mukwonago Chimney Swifts
Went cruising around Mukwonago with a friend Thursday evening looking for any
Chimney Swift activity. At about 7:35pm, at the downtown intersection of
Highway 83 and County ES, there is a Masonic Hall, and it has a beautiful good
size Chimney, and about 150 Swifts entered it and all was quiet by 7:53pm. Easy
viewing from parking lot across the street on the east side. Not the numbers
like Okauchee Lake, but still cool to see.
Still seeking Roost locations for city of Waukesha if anyone has information.
