--Boundary_(ID_uYpBm4PS5Nr+2cQQ+6FaQQ) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT MAY 29, 2011 - Robie Tufts Nature Centre in Wolfville at dusk: 62+ chimney swifts counted as they dropped in by Liz & Richard Stern and Jim Wolford. Observations from 8:35 to 9:25 p.m. (Sunset 8:49]. Sky 95% clear, warm (24 C.), light breeze. At 8:51 my first swift was seen high over the chimney; at 8:55, 7 swifts up high in loose flock; first chimney entries were of 27 swifts at 9:08, and by 9:12 most of the others had entered; 2 stragglers entered at 9:16, totalling 62+ swifts. Totals of 62 swifts for two consecutive nights is interesting but perhaps just coincidental. We really have no idea how many of tonight's swifts were also there on May 28. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. --Boundary_(ID_uYpBm4PS5Nr+2cQQ+6FaQQ) 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 = 29, 2011 - Robie Tufts Nature Centre in Wolfville at dusk: 62+ chimney = swifts</b> counted as they dropped in by Liz & Richard Stern and Jim = Wolford.</font></div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; = margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal = 20px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 24px; "><br></div><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">Observations from 8:35 to 9:25 p.m. (Sunset = 8:49].
