Hi all, While poking around the Naugatuck River this afternoon there were large concentrations of swallows and swifts hunting low over the river itself, thanks to today's cool temps and high winds. One spot in particular, Chase River Road in Waterbury, held about 30 CHIMNEY SWIFTS, 10 TREE SWALLOWS, 2 NORTHERN ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOWS, 25 BANK SWALLOWS, 6 CLIFF SWALLOWS, and 12 BARN SWALLOWS. I'd estimate that I ran into about 120 Chimney Swifts between Waterbury and Seymour, most seen while driving on Rte 8 itself. >From Nick Bonomo: 5/10 - Waterbury, Chase River Rd -- 6 CLIFF SWALLOWS Nick Bonomo Wallingford, CT http://shorebirder.blogspot.com/
