Hilton Pond 08/08/01 (Chimney Swifts)


HI . . .

Last week we published our on-line photo essay about the cussing 
abilities of Yellow-breasted Chats. This week we had another 
experience with cursing birds when a couple of young Chimney Swifts 
fell into our fireplace.

Not only can you read about this experience, but we've also added our 
first ever QuickTime movie to the Web site for Hilton pond Center for 
Piedmont Natural History--so you can see AND hear the young swifts 
cussing up a storm.  :-)

Just visit http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek010808.html for "This 
Week at Hilton Pond" for the week of 8-15 August 2001. (This is  a 
direct link but please feel free to browse the rest of the Web site.)

As usual, there are seven-day totals for banded and recaptured birds, 
including ten different species banded for the week.


Happy Nature Watching,

BILL
