May 11, 2007 - Dusk at Robie Tufts Nature Centre, Wolfville -- I checked from 8:35 to 9 p.m. (Sunset 8:31) -- overcast, moderately strong wind from south, warm, 20 C. -- 6 CHIMNEY SWIFTS entered chimney at 8:47 p.m. -- no others seen. May 12, 2007 - Dusk at R.T. Nature Centre, Wolfville -- Jean Timpa (who watched with Judy Tufts) reported as follows to NatureNS: ³.... First Jim Wolford saw 3 pass over the chimney very low at 8:12 p.m., but they did not go in. He left Judy Tufts and myself to continue on with the watch. At 8:34 5 appeared and flew around the chimney for a while. One broke away and flew off by itself to the SW. The four disappeared, but at 8:40 they returned and 3 went in quickly; while the last one dallied for a bit but finally went into the chimney. Would the last one reappear? We waited and waited and were just about to pack it in when Judy saw the last one quickly dive into the chimney with the others. I did not see it at all, and she nearly missed it! It is so easy to do. What a grand way to complete our bird counts (NSMC) today.² Cheers from Jim in Wolfville, 542-9204
