Title: Chimney Swift Colony on Swift Drive
Post by: Rotarran on June 14, 2015, 09:24:09 PM

There appears to be a Chimney Swift colony in and around the low-rise buildings on the aptly named Swift Drive near the DVP and Eglinton Avenue.  They're everywhere and in the short time that I observed them they appeared to fly to and from the aforementioned buildings...though I can't tell where exactly they shelter.  The chimneys on the those buildings look too small to fly into.

The Swiftwatch database has identified a roost at 25 Eccleston Dr, just around the corner from Swift Drive.
