BOYS FIND ^BANDED CHIMNEY
SWIFT IN HAIGLAR CHIMNEY
When exploring the chimney of
the Haiglar Theatre Tuesday evening
shortly after thousands of chimney
swifts had settled therein for the
night, Peter Bradley and Harry DavIb,
employees of the water and light
department, captured eleven of the
birds.
On one of the legs of one captured
swift Bradley found a small metal
tag which when placed under the microscope
showed that' on one side
were the numbers " '39-92403", while
on the other was Inscribed "Notify
Bioo Survey, Wash., D. C."
Translated the tag records the year
that the tag was affixed to the swift
and also the number of the tag. The finder
of t^he bird and tag Is requested
to notify the Federal Biological
Survey unit at Washington, D. C.
Bradley stated that when he and
Davis crawled Into the chimney at
the top, the walls of the interior were
covered with thousands of the swifts.
In fact there was not room enough
for them all on the walls and clusters
of them, resembling big swarms
of bees, were floating in the air In
the chimney and clinging to one another.
Tho presence of the two men
did not appear to frighten the swifts
and the eleven were captured, exani,
ined and then released.
"It looked as If there were a million
birds in the chimney," said Brad- ley.
"The walls of the chimney had
been brushed as clean as if swept
with a broom, this being due to the
brushing of the birds as they circled
down into the chimney."
Uninformed persons and negroes
have for years called these birds ,
"chimney sweeps." They circle near
a chimney and then ttp8_whgle, Hack .
head In a Tunnel" shape. They generally
reach this section about this
time of the year.
