May 22 - overcast with light rain - approx. 10 C

Watched the McGowan Lake blacksmith shop chimney from 8:30  to 9:05 pm. =
A count/estimate was 205 chimney swifts. They all entered at 9:05 pm and =
a minute later a final 3 arrived. (This was essentially the same time I =
was there yesterday).

There was a group of observers with me and two counts by first timers =
observers were 150 and 175 - and both said they had trouble with the =
numbers. I'd probably be better to suggest my accuracy is 10 % plus or =
minus (and could easily be 15 %).=20
