JUNE 4, 2009 - Randy Lauff sent the following report of 157 TOTAL  
CHIMNEY SWIFTS into the old chimney at McGowan Lake (Queen's County)  
near Kejimkujik Nat. Park:

Tonight I'm visiting one of my students at the Mersey-Tobeatic
Research Institute just outside Keji. She took me to see the Chimney
Swifts at the McGowan Lake Fish Hatchery, Caledonia. We counted 157
swifts, about 75,000 mosquitoes (+/-), 42,450 black flies, and about
788 no-see-ums. Granted, the latter were hard to see in the fading
light, so there may have been more ;) .  Well, at least the swift  
numbers
are fairly accurate.
