--Boundary_(ID_pTsfK6iPJMjGTa1lBIy/oA) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT MAY 25, 2011 - This evening Brenda & Bill Thexton counted 66 total chimney swifts at the Robie Tufts Nature Centre in Wolfville at dusk. Observations were from 8:50 to 9:20 p.m. (Sunset 8:45). Clear sky clouded over, temp. not measured but not cold. First swift entered chimney at 8:55 and last one in at 9:17. Please can someone check the Middleton Regional High School chimney occasionally? We and the swifts need help there badly! There should be a lot more swifts there than in Wolfville. MRHS is one block north of Tim Horton's in west Middleton. Note Sunset time in Herald or Internet, then to be safe get to the site well before Sunset (by 8:30 p.m. if possible) and then be prepared to stay there and alert for at least a half-hour. A second pair of eyes and ears is also very helpful! And talk to any other people there about the endangerment of these unique and uncolourful birds! Google chimneyswifts.org and you will find all kinds of great information on them and contacts etc. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. --Boundary_(ID_pTsfK6iPJMjGTa1lBIy/oA) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font = face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"5" style=3D"font: 20.0px Helvetica"><b>MAY = 25, 2011</b> - </font><span class=3D"Apple-style-span" = style=3D"font-size: 20px; ">This evening Brenda & Bill Thexton = counted <b>66 total chimney swifts</b> at the Robie Tufts Nature Centre = in <b>Wolfville</b> at dusk.
