--Boundary_(ID_7V7R+wPl4fsKudhybmj8uA) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT MAY 30, 2010 - Robie Tufts Nature Centre in Wolfville at dusk: 55+ chimney swifts counted as they dropped into the chimney -- times watching were 8:40 to 9:06 p.m. (then too much talking, so swifts were probably missed) -- Sunset time 8:50 p.m. -- sky half clear, half cloudy, 16 C., wind light -- entry times were mostly at 9:03 with stragglers to 9:06 -- observers Jim Wolford, Marke Slipp, Jim ? from Sussex, N.B., and Tracy ?. MAY 31, 2010 - Robie Tufts Nature Centre in Wolfville at dusk: 65+?? chimney swifts counted, but by two different observers sequentially -- top line said 8:45 to 9:10 p.m. (Sunset time 8:51), 45+ swifts counted, sky mostly clear, observer Melinda Norris -- second line said 20 more swifts at 9:20-ish, 2nd wave, and observer was "a new Wolfvillager". Thus I am assuming that 45+ plus 20 more equals a total of 65+ for May 31. JUNE 2, 2010 - Robie Tufts Nature Centre in Wolfville at dusk: 103 chimney swifts counted as they dropped into the chimney -- 8 people watched from 8:30 to 9:25 p.m. (Sunset 8:53 according to Chronicle Herald) -- sky nearly all overcast but bright, windy from west and cool (15 to 13 C.) -- one swift entered chimney at 8:48, then one swift (same?) departed at 8:51 -- most swifts (80-85) entered chimney rapidly from 9:08 to 9:10, then stragglers came to 9:20 p.m. -- observers 5 from Acadia Lifelong Learning, Jo Bishop, Harold Forsyth, Jim Wolford. 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.
