Subject: Chimney Swifts Milwaukee County

To continue the Chimney Swift discussion, this morning at Lake Park
in Milwaukee there were Chimney Swifts in view until about 11 A.M.
Later I went to Sheridan Park and experienced a similar migration for
about two hours. For a few minutes there were Chimney Swifts that
could be seen in all directions as far as I could see. In the
afternoon it was clear and these birds were spectacular against the
blue sky. It had me wondering, where did they all come from and how
did they all get together?

Warbler migration was slow. I found 16 species at various places
between Shorewood Nature Preserve and Warnimont Park (best spot Lake
Park with 10 species) but they were hard to come by with very few
individuals.
