Swarms of Swifts

Today we have received three reports of hundreds to thousands of Swifts in Ladysmith, Port Alberni and Royston. In two of these reports the Swifts were seen flying down chimneys by and some getting right in to the houses. There are two species of Swifts that are commonly seen on the island, Black and Vaux's Swift. One of the reports mentioned it as watching something out of the Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds".
If you have a bird sighting email The Backyard Wildbird & Nature Store at thebackyard@shaw.ca. CB
