A first for me: a Chimney Swift nest made of twigs stuck to the wall with saliva. Chimney Swifts normally nest in hollow snags or old chimneys. Their feet are designed to cling to vertical surfaces, and they are unable to perch.

The Chimney Swifts have been flying very low for the last few days over Parkdale, Toronto. Take a few hundred photos and keep a handful.

#Inktober Day 10: Sweep
The #ChimneySwift is airborne for most of its life. When it lands, it can’t perch, but clings to vertical surfaces like inside chimneys.
Drawn with an H pencil, an ink dip pen, and a brush.

Chimney Swift nest update: 3 chicks, pin feathers, eyes closed. There's not a lot of spare room in there.
Photographed from a distance with a long telephoto lens and cropped heavily. Minimal time near the nest for a couple of shots.

I noticed yesterday that the Chimney Swifts were flying low over Queen St... just over the buildings. So I went down today and spent a lot of time marvelling at their incredible speed and agility.
I'm not sure if I can photos any closer than this... but i'll keep trying.

The first two with my 50mm lens in South Parkdale and the last two with my 600mm directly above my house.

#ChimneySwift photo dump. I’ve been practicing bird in flight with these buggers around the Inn. I see why they call them swifts.
