[mou] interesting article

[Jim Ryan]

Great article Gail,
Thanks for sharing it. There is a mention of the fact that swifts sleep
while they are flying...Does anyone know do that all the time and if they
also roost?

I distinctly remember one dusk on the Rum river by the old hospital
smokestack (across from the Anoka County Fairgrounds) seeing hundreds of
swifts funneling thier way INTO the stack as darkness overtook the day... I
assumed they were roosting for the evening and just enjoyed the
spectacle...This was several years ago in late August.  Any thoughts??
