Hello Chaetura counters=2C

=20

At Middleton Regional High School on the evening of 8 August 2010=2C we had=
 the best Chimney Swift count that I have seen this season.   I was observi=
ng from 20:24-21:10 ADT=2C and counted/estimated 254 swifts.  The first one=
 entered at 20:40=2C but the "estimated" comes in because about 200 entered=
 in the 3 minutes from 20:56-20:59.   Nicolle Davis's team was videotaping =
them (or whatever the term is when there is no tape)=2C so she may be able =
to give us a more accurate count.  Several others were present for viewing=
=2C but did not seriously try to count the birds.
