Greetings,

The Chimney Swifts have been gathering at the roost in the chimeny at 
the East Silver Spring Elementary School.  My first sighting of swifts 
making their morning exit from the school chimney was on August 16th.

Aug. 16    6 birds at 6:15 AM
Aug   19    5 birds at 6:20 AM
Aug   20     3 birds already out, 4 exit at 6:15 and 4 exit at 6:20

Aug 26 until Sept 9th  only one bird was sighted ( think they were 
exiting after I left)

Sept. 14    approx. 20 birds flying over my yard.
Sept   15    19 exit chimney 6:45 AM
Sept   16    9 exit 6:45 and 9 exit at 6:50 AM
Sept   17    3 exit 6:40, 29 exit 6:45 - 6:50 AM
