--Boundary_(ID_/K7SAJkAA01s0hOg3vUnfw) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Robie Tufts Nature Centre in Wolfville at dusk: 21 chimney swifts counted as they dropped into the chimney. Watching was from 8:35 to 9:20 p.m. (Sunset 8:44) but entry times were not recorded (my fault as they ran out of posted paper). Weather: becoming overcast, and windy. Observers were Lauren Park, Megan Thibeault, & Tony Napoli. Cheryl Rutledge reports she counted only 18 chimneys swifts entering her old farmhouse chimney at dusk at Upper Falmouth. I consoled her with the "fact" that at this time of year when the swifts are migrating northward, we expect the numbers from night to night in any location to bounce up and down fairly wildly, before they settle down to summer residents, both nesters and yearling non-nesters, after about June 10 or so. Hence the importance at each site of getting lots of counts. For each "count" attempt, hoped-for data include the time-span spent in watching, Sunset time from Chronicle Herald or elsewhere, span of entry times as well as when most entered, a few words about weather, names of observers, and any other relevant info' like other sightings etc. 2010 CHIMNEY SWIFTS SUMMARY May 1/10 - 0 - Robie Tufts Nature Centre (RTNC), Wolfville - Jim Wolford May 4/10 - 5+ - RTNC, Wolfville - Harold Forsyth, Jim Wolford May 4/10 - some heard (guess perhaps 25??) - Middleton - Claire Diggins May 5/10 - 44 - New Glasgow, Temperance St. School - Ken McKenna May 6/10 - 115 - Middleton Reg.
