--Apple-Mail-47-48981603 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed JUNE 7, 2012 -- 97+ chimney swifts counted as they dropped into Wolfville's Robie Tufts Nature Centre chimney at dusk. Finally, after several days of rainy, cold days and no good counts, today was Sunny and fairly warm for most of the day, thus a good foraging day for swifts. Tonight was mostly clear sky, calm (slight breeze), and cool (12-13 C.). Nice Sunset. Sunset time was 8:57 p.m. Observations were from 8:40 to 9:40 p.m. The gathering swifts, which I thought looked like 30 or less, kept us waiting a long time before nearly all of them dropped in from about 9:22 to 9:25 p.m., followed by 1+1+2 stragglers to 9:35 p.m. Total was 97+. Observers Trish Boyle and Jim Wolford. On the other hand, wonderfully, at dusk Ken McKenna counted 605 chimney swifts as they dove into the chimney of the Temperance St. School in New Glasgow. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville and Ken in New Glasgow. --Apple-Mail-47-48981603 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII <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"Arial" size=3D"4" style=3D"font: = 13.0px Arial"><b>JUNE 7, 2012 -- 97+ chimney swifts</b> counted as they = dropped into <b>Wolfville</b>'s Robie Tufts Nature Centre chimney at = dusk.
