Thanks, Linda and Ross! and promising!!??  NSAC is Nova Scotia  
Agricultural College.

Julie Paquet has kindly volunteered to try to find out about whether  
that old foundry chimney at Oxford is still attracting swifts --  
there has been no real hard info' on that site for many years.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
