Hi Jim and all,

Just got in from several days at Keji, and we saw Chimney Swifts at =
various times in the park. I wonder where they would be roosting/nesting =
there, if it would be a natural site, or otherwise.=20

this question has probably been on nature ns before, so I apologize if =
so.

will have some images from the trip in the next day or so on my blog.

cheers,
Gary Murray

  JUNE 14, 2008 - END OF HALIFAX FIELD NATURALISTS FIELD TRIP - at Robie =
Tufts Nature Centre in Wolfville at dusk: I met about eight members of =
HFN at the chimney at about 8:35 p.m. -- they and I watched for CHIMNEY =
SWIFTS from 8:30 to 9:10 p.m. (Sunset at 9:02) -- 12+ TOTAL CHIMNEY =
SWIFTS counted as they entered the chimney from 8:52 to 9:05, and at =
least 2 MORE SWIFTS were not seen to enter while we watched -- sky =
mostly overcast, light wind, cool, 14 C.  Present among the HFN group =
were Regina Maass, and Ingrid & Burkhard Plache.


  I told everyone about the oodles of information to be had by Googling =
....chimneyswifts.org ...., where you will find the Web-site of the =
Driftwood Wildlife Association in Austin, Texas, including all sorts of =
info' and a book on how to build artificial towers for the nesting =
and/or roosting of chimney swifts! etc. etc.  I strongly encourage =
surfing their site and considering community projects involving such =
towers.


  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
