Very interesting James, I have been thinking about the idea of creating
"nest boxes" for the chimney swifts. This concept that they will possibly
nest in barns raises a whole new set of questions and possibilities. Please
keep me in the loop; I'd be very interested to see what comes of this.

Subject: [NatureNS] Chimney Swifts
HI all:
For my Bird Notes column that I write weekly for the local paper, I put in 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
Scotia 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
Cherryfield. It is interesting that the person noted that 5-6 pairs of
chimney swifts 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, so this is also something that atlasers might want to investigate for
their squares. Anyhow, I was even sent some nice pictures of the swift
nest, eggs and the swift in the nest taken inside of the barn. To Jim
Wolford, I know that you are tracking swift information, so if you would
like me to send you a copy of the emails and the pictures that I received
let me know. Also, 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, I will pass the information I have on to you.
