--Boundary_(ID_BaAxxzg61wBR6IHPk+kHgg) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT May 26, 2009 - ROBIE TUFTS NATURE CENTRE in Wolfville at dusk: a total of 90 CHIMNEY SWIFTS were counted as they entered the chimney very gradually from 8:41 to 9:07 p.m. (Sunset 8:47) -- observations were over nearly exactly the same time period (8:40 to 9:12), so that possibly a few early entries were missed -- sky mostly clear, quite windy and cool, 12 C. -- observers Judy Tufts, Jim Wolford, and a few others. I think 90 swifts is a new record, since over the past three seasons our highest count of swifts in one evening was 80. 2009 CHIMNEY SWIFTS SUMMARY May 9/09 -- 12 -- Wolfville, Robie Tufts Nature Centre -- Jim Wolford, Carol Carpenter, Sean Timpa, Jean Timpa May 11/09 -- 20 -- Wolfville -- Jim Wolford May 11/09 -- 75 -- New Glasgow -- Ken McKenna May 12/09 -- 81 -- Middleton Regional High School -- Claire Diggins May 13/09 -- 13 -- Wolfville -- Jim Wolford May 14/09 -- 44 -- Wolfville -- Jim Wolford May 14/09 -- 170 -- New Glasgow -- Ken McKenna May 15/09 -- 287 -- New Glasgow -- Ken McKenna May 15/09 -- 40 -- Upper Falmouth (old farmhouse) -- Cheryl Rutledge May 15/09 -- 17 -- Bible Hill, N.S.
