Chimney Swift Chaetura pelagica adult perched at nest near Lake Sam Rayburn, Jasper Co., Texas 14 June 2008 Chimney Swift nest on outside wall of a dark portion of an outside hallway between rooms at the Bass Buster Inn, a motel on Lake Rayburn. Owners of motel said that this species has nested in this location for 10 years. A most unusual nesting site, but apparently successful year after year!

This is a known roosting location for Chimney Swifts. On 8/14/15, a surveyor counted 1480 swifts entering the chimney to spend the night. On this date, I recorded 1660 swifts entering. This is a rough estimate due to a large majority of the swifts waiting until it was dark to enter the chimney which made counting a challenge! The swifts are also very hard to photograph due to their speed and unpredictable flight path.

migrant Chimney Swifts moving over very high in small numbers much of the day. Cruddy shot but best I could do at the great heights these birds were flying at.

After studying my photos and listening to audio samples of closely related genus and species such as swallows, swift, martins, etc. The chimney swift is the perfect match. This is a sample of the aerial songs. http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/wwwsounds/birds/hardy33sh.wav
