[Maine-birds] Seeking Chimney Swift roosts

Everyone – first of all, a belated thank-you to everyone who responded to our request for Cliff Swallow hang-outs a couple weeks ago.  One of you pointed us to a building outside of Augusta, where there were 30-some nests, many of them active, with a large number of birds flying around the parking lot area.  Our birds joined the group there!

Our summer swift orphans are nearly ready for release, so we are now looking for a communal chimney swift roost  (rather than a single-family nest chimney) that is currently active.   We’d settle for a location where a good number of birds are regularly seen in the evening sky, even if the roost chimney per se was unknown. 
Again, please contact me off-list.

THANKS!
