--Boundary_(ID_AmfLLue7cFcihd3Zu+XSXw) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Gary et al., The only roosting sites that I know of in the greater Keji' area are (formerly) a church in South Brookfield and currently a special ex-hatchery chimney left by N.S. Power? for the swifts at McGowan Lake -- look it up if you don't know where that is. Peter Hope occasionally reports on the swifts at the latter site. Now that the chimney swift is capital-E Endangered re N.S. species at risk list, it would be a good idea for everyone to send in any sightings at all of this species, for Dorothy Poole to compile for the Bird Society journal's quarterly reports. Thanks to all in advance, and thanks to Gary for his inquiry.
