At 8:44, we arrived just in time to see at least ten swifts circling the chimney. The number grew to 20 +. Just after 9:50, 45+ swifts plunged inside in clusters. The last three stragglers circled a few times before finally entering it. The time was 8:53. It was cool and windy. It was Mom's first swifts in more than 40 years and also her first time seeing them go inside the chimney. We had a lot of swifts and swallows in Ottawa (west end) before our transfer to Halifax. Just my opinion. I think watchers should stand quietly and watch birds go in.
