HI all:

=20

For my Bird Notes column that I write weekly for the local paper=2C I put i=
n a reference to Ontario and the Chimney Swift monitoring project that they=
 currently have going on.  I made note that there are people also in Nova S=
cotia who are paying close attention to this species and if anyone knew of =
any locations where these birds might be roosting/nesting to let me know so=
 that I could pass the information on.  I did get a response from Cherryfie=
ld.  It is interesting that the person noted that 5-6 pairs of chimney swif=
ts were coming into his barn and are nesting.  A follow-up let me know that=
 at least two other barns in the area have chimney swifts nesting in them. =
 I myself did not know that this species would nest in barns=2C so this is =
also something that atlasers might want to investigate for their squares.  =
Anyhow=2C I was even sent some nice pictures of the swift nest=2C eggs and =
the swift in the nest taken inside of the barn.  To Jim Wolford=2C I know t=
hat you are tracking swift information=2C so if you would like me to send y=
ou a copy of the emails and the pictures that I received let me know.  Also=
=2C any others who are currently doing a study let me know.  I know a lady =
contacted me earlier and if she could get in touch with me again=2C I will =
pass the information I have on to you.
