Hi all=20
There was a nice showing by the Chimney Swifts at Temperance St. school, =
New Glasgow, last night (May 16). I arrived at 8:40 and noted a modest =
number circling the chimney counter clockwise. It was 10C, a clear, calm =
evening and there seemed to be some sort of entertainment or dance on at =
the school as when a door was opened the party sounds filled the air!.
This did not seem to bother the swifts at all and at 8:42, 1 entered the =
chimney. The largest bulk (119) went in at 8:44 and last 4 entered at =
8:49. By the time I left at 8:53, I had a total of 233, my largest count =
for this spring. Remember each evening till the solstice the entry will =
be later except for evenings when it might be darker conditions because =
of cloud or rain. Best to arrive 40 min. before sunset. for a good show. =


Rose-breasted Grosbeak returned to my yard in Plymouth May 15.=20

cheers
Ken
