Old TN State Prison - 11,300 Chimney Swifts
We returned there on September 11th and counting by groups of 25, recorded
11,300 swifts at they entered the huge chimney visible from the guardhouse.
A spotting scope was used because the chimney is 1,500 feet from the
guardhouse.
Sterling Court Apartments - 1,400 Chimney Swifts
The chimney is on the back side of this old apartment complex on the west
side of Belmont Blvd at Compton Avenue. If you want to show someone a
spectacle, this is an easy place to get a great view. The number of birds
started to build shortly after sunset and were all in the roost 25 minutes
later.
