Hi all
On July 19, I counted 200 Chimney Swifts going in the Temperance St, schol chimney. First birds entered 8:52 and last 9:20. Most of the birds entered 9:01-9:02. It was clear, calm and 24C. 

Tonight July 22, the weather took a noticeable turn for the worse as I was heading to view the swifts. Wind came up and the sky quickly blackend and the temp. dropped to 20C. As I arrived at 8:39, there was a nice group above the chimney and a number were already going in. I noted 23 going in at the time, but I think I missed a lot. It was another 5 minutes before the bulk went in for the evening, but there were trickling numbers till I left at 9. My count was 164, but I would not consider this an official count as I think I missed quite a number. Will try for a better count tomorrow night if I get a chance. 
cheers
ken
