Great reports Rayfield and Tyler.

Glad to see that someone else has seen a Chimney Swift up north of the border so early in the season.  I think that when I reported my sighting on Monday to the Chimney Swift Watch website they thought I was nuts, being that it was way too early to be this far north!!!
