Is this a higher than normal year for chimney swifts?

I feel like i'm seeing them all over Toronto. Lots in east york, Yonge and eglinton and today, little italy.

anyone feel the same?

If anything, I'm seeing fewer than normal, and I saw my first a bit later than usual.  
Maybe I'm just not too swift this year! :wink:

I would have to agree, there seems to be a higher the normal number downtown.  However, I'm living in a different neighbourhood this year - full of converted warehouses (many de-commissioned chimneys) so that might the reason I'm noticing more.

I'm in the west end and I've noticed far fewer than usual...
