I attended a symposium at the University of King's College, Halifax, this evening and as I came outside I realized that the time was right to be watching out for Chimney Swifts. I saw a single Chimney Swift from my back yard one evening recently, while I was taking the laundry down from the line; it was the first I have seen in the city this year. A couple of pairs used to nest in the big stone chimneys of the buildings at the University of King's College in Halifax. I always knew when they were around because I would hear and see them in the daytime over the campus and surrounding area. However the last year in which I saw them was 2006; that is, they did come back the year after Hurricane Wilma. I have kept watch for several evenings in the years since then, without observing any. This evening I watched from 9:20 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. Southwest winds were light at first, though they picked up later on. Sky was 100% overcast; no precipitation. 22 C. No Chimney Swifts were observed, nor for that matter Common Nighthawks. Cheers, Patricia L. Chalmers Halifax
