This is by far the earliest date I have had this species in the neighbourhood. They are local breeders. Buoyed by this sighting, I decided to check the Temperance St.school for Chimney Swifts at dusk. I was sure I was going to see some as I could see 3-4 flying over the East River across the road as I left my house. I arrived at the school at 8:15 and soon had 3-4 flying around. It was about 12C, clear skies and calm. The first bird entered at 8:28, 2 more at 8:38 and 41 more between 8:44-8:45 for a total of 44. Nice to see the swifts back again. cheers Ken --Boundary_(ID_LkkqLQiktHuRKWsh0lDMsw) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.18904"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ken McKenna<BR>Box 218 Stellarton NS<BR>B0K 1S0<BR>902 752-7644</FONT></DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> <DIV><BR>Hi all</DIV> <DIV>I was checking out my feeder in Plymouth, <EM>Pict.</EM> after work tonight (May 5) and was surprised to see a male <STRONG>Rose-breasted Grosbeak</STRONG>.
