May 31, 2007 - ROBIE TUFTS NATURE CENTRE AT DUSK: 50+ TOTAL CHIMNEY SWIFTS
seen -- tonight there was a sizable crowd of gawkers for the pre-roosting
swifts, not just people doing business at the liquor store -- the majority
of the swifts entered the chimney a bit after 9:00 p.m. (Sunset 8:52) -- Ted
Wolkowski, Brenda & Bill Thexton, Harold Forsyth, Jim Wolford, et al.  An
immature? BALD EAGLE flew over quite high in the sky at about 9 p.m., headed
southwest, perhaps on its way quite late to a communal roost in the
Gaspereau Valley upstream (west) from White Rock.  Among the observers was a
couple from England, where they had read about our Wolfville swifts on the
Internet; and last nightıs gawkers included a couple from Wisconsin.

Cheers :-) from Jim in Wolfville, 542-9204
