June 26, 2012 - Robie Tufts Nature Centre, Wolfville, at dusk:  I  
watched the chimney from 8:55 to 9:40 p.m.  Sunset was at about  
9:05.  Sky nearly totally clear, 21 C., cool, breezy from the south?,  
wide crescent Moon in the southwest.  At 9:07 1 chimney swift dropped  
into the chimney, and one more was flying.  At 9:18, 15 swifts were  
flying near the chimney.  Then further entries to the chimney  
happened at 9:19 (1), 9:20 (3), 9:24 (8), 9:25 (1), 9:27 (5), then no  
more to 9:40, when I departed.  A total of 19 chimney swifts entered  
the chimney for the night.  Observer Jim Wolford.
-------------------------

This evening Claire Diggins checked out the chimney of Middleton  
Regional High School and counted 160 chimney swifts as they dove in  
for the night.  Here are her details as sent via e-mail:

I checked the chimney on Tuesday, June 26th. Middleton Reg. High School.
I arrived at 8:30 p.m. First swift flew in at 9:04. I counted 160  
swifts in all. Last went in at 9:29. I left at 9:33.  Temp 18*C.    
Wind: moderate.   Cloud cover at 8:30: 5% ... but at 9:30:  98%.
--------------------
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
