NSMC May 14 /11 - Wolfville RTNC chimney : It was heavily overcast with light rain showers falling. 12 Chimney Swifts began appearing at 8.18p.m. and could be heard as they circled over the Robie Tufts Nature Centre area in downtown Wolfville and then disappeared. Five mins later, ~30 in various-sized flocks appeared but again showing no interest in entering the chimney, they too disappeared. Suddenly at 8.30 p.m. I was a little surprised to see a larger flock of Swifts appear almost out of nowhere and immediately pour down into the RTNC chimney. They disappeared so fast I wondered how they could sort out their roost places in that chimney without bumping into each other! I barely had time to count them but my best guesstimate is 60 swifts. I remained until 8.45 p.m. but no other swifts appeared. Cheers. Judy Tufts >>>>>>>>>> Judy Tufts Wolfville NS <<<<<<<<<<
