Thousands left and thousands are left.

Yesterday a bunch of swifts came in between 11:00 and 2:30 to join a
lot of Vaux's that were unwilling to fight the rain.

So how many birds left the roost this morning? It was pretty wild
from 9:27 to 9:34. Thats 7 minutes or 420 seconds of 8 swifts per
second flying out=3360 VASW.

Looks like at least that many are still in there. The outside cam has
not been on line for most of the weekend. Wish it was. Good signal
from inside right now.

These little birds are up against it with all the cold, rain and lack
of available prey. Check it out at http://wdfw.wa.gov/wildwatch/vauxcam/video_chimney.html
