A huge number of chimney swifts returning to one old factory chimney on Indian Neck Ave in Branford right at dusk last night, tried to count—seemed like 10 swifts per second--and it went on for at least 15 minutes until no more could fit in, quite a spectacle and a nice place by the brewery to do some evening bird watching.
