Observers were Lauren Park and Jim Wolford plus Sarah McGuire and Mary-Claire Sanderson. The latter two are students of Marty Leonard of Dalhousie Univ. and are doing studies locally near Gaspereau of tree swallows in nest-boxes. From Sarah and Mary-Claire I learned that they had done chimney swift observations at the RTNC in Wolfville on May 21/10 and I had not noticed that they had signed in their data on the sheets that we have provided there: May 21, 2010 -- RTNC, Wolfville -- 44 chimney swifts counted at dusk as they entered the chimney -- weather "clear and cool" -- period of watching was 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. (Sunset was 8:41) -- entry times were 8:57 to 9:25 (?? -- it must have been very dark by then?) -- observers Sarah McGuire, Mary-Claire Sanderson, and Hendrick Reers (all students studying tree swallows under Marty Leonard of Dalhousie Univ.). ---------------- 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.
