ROBIE TUFTS NATURE CENTRE in Wolfville at dusk: 96+ TOTAL CHIMNEY  
SWIFTS counted as they entered the chimney from 9:03 to 9:20 p.m.  
(Sunset was at about 8:49 p.m.) -- observations from 8:40 to 9:25  
p.m. -- clear sky, calm, 11 C., beautiful quiet evening so that I  
again could HEAR the swifts (hooray), and the swifts put on quite a  
show, making us wait a long time and swooping past the chimney top  
many times over many minutes -- observers Jim Wolford, Brian  
Starzomski, Amy ?, Steve Slipp, and quite a few other gawkers.
