On Saturday night August 9th I went to McGowan Lake to see if any =
chimney swifts were around.

It was calm, the overhead sky was clear but dark clouds rimmed the =
horizon, temperature at 18 C. Sunset was predicaed at 20:28. I arrived =
at 20:20 and watched until 21:10. At 20:57 a single chimney swift =
appeared, made one and a half circles of the chimney, fluttered down to =
3 metres above the chimney and then flew off and did not  return. No =
other swifts  were seen.
