swiftly down the chimney
on tuesday i went with my friends charise and christopher to watch the swifts. this was one of the coolest things i've seen! basically a whole bunch of people gather with their pick nick baskets and wine to watch thousands of birds swirl around an old chimney before they eventually dive in a few at a time until the sky is clear. these magnificent birds gather for about 6 weeks in the fall to roost together before heading south. it was amazing to watch them swirl around and try to dodge the oncoming attacks of hawks.
i think i'm going to go again, anyone want to join me?
