Thanks, Judy!  Judy didn't mention the weather, but today was  
overcast and off-and-on threatening to rain (which it did in mid- 
afternoon in our area).  Overcast and dark conditions in the daytime  
can often bring chimney swifts to low elevations and make them much  
more observable than on Sunny days.  Also it might be possible that  
these birds actually "slept in" today in the chimney of the Robie  
Tufts Nature Centre (Judy and husband Gordon are relatives of Robie)  
and did not arouse themselves until noon.  I can testify from  
experience of waiting long periods for their exits that leaving the  
roost-chimney in late morning or noon does happen with some  
regularity.  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
