I am happy to report that one chimney swift egg has hatched.
It occurred some time between midnight and six am on Friday
June 18th. I don't know if there are any more eggs. They can lay from one to seven. They don't all hatch at the same time, but about
eight hours apart. So maybe there will only be one baby this year.
This is a photo from the book I have-Chimney Swifts: America's
Mysterious Birds above the Fireplace by Paul & Georgean Kyle.
Wish I could see mine. He or she is quite loud at feeding time.
The cats sit in the fireplace trying to figure out where the birds are.
