Hello Jim et al.
OK=2C here's another one from Middleton RHS (Annapolis Co.)=2C last ev=
ening=2C Sunday 21 August. Sky was clear overhead=2C with scattered low=2C=
dark cumulus clouds around=2C and a steady 10-15 km/h SW wind. I arrived =
at 1950=2C left at 2045=2C in darkness. First 5 swifts entered about 2002=
=2C and we were only up to 10 by 2015=3B the bulk entered between 2030 & 20=
35=2C with the last three at 2038=2C for a total of 78. About eight others=
had flown off and not returned by the time I left=3B perhaps they roosted =
elsewhere or returned after dark.
=20
Sorry that I was unable to get out for the first weekend of Swifts' Nigh=
t Out. The BSC study is a good initiative=2C but it is too bad that it did=
not incorporate the dates of the international survey=2C or at least coope=
rate in building on what has been done for years=2C instead of trying to re=
-invent the wheel. They got the same criticism in Ontario last year=2C but=
seem to have ignored it. Unfortunately=2C ours will likely all have left=
by the next Swifts' Night Out.
