JUNE 17, 2011 - In Wolfville in the afternoon I had a chance to again  
watch for chimney swifts at the southwest chimney of University  
Hall.  I sat on the steps of the Business building, Rhodes Hall, for  
20 minutes from 3:40 to 4:00 p.m.  At 3:40 one swift flew over and  
past the chimney, at fairly low altitude.  At 3:47 one swift CAME OUT  
of the chimney and flew away.  At 3:50 I heard and then saw two  
swifts flying together past the chimney top and then back past it.   
At 3:55 one swift flew past the chimney top closely.  At 3:58 two  
swifts were together flying up high near the chimney.  I departed at  
4 p.m.
--------------------
Evening: Lauren Park et al. counted 60+ chimney swifts as they  
dropped into the chimney of the Robie Tufts Nature Centre at  
Wolfville at dusk.  Sky partly clear/cloudy, 17 C. temp.   
Observations from 8:49 to 9:27 p.m. (Sunset 9:03).  Swifts' entries  
into chimney were scattered, most went in at 9:21 p.m.  Observers  
Lauren Park, Carmen Braden, Anthony Sairdge??, et al.
--------------------
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
