--f46d04103737fc864e04dd7aa69c Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ally Manthorne <amanthorne@bsc-eoc.org> Date: Fri, May 24, 2013 at 2:41 PM Subject: Significant Chimney Swift roost in Fredericton To: NATURENB@listserv.unb.ca Hi all, Last week, Kevin Kelly located a large brick building on McLeod Avenue in Fredericton, where he observed approximately 200 Chimney Swifts entering a large brick chimney. Bird Studies Canada field staff Lucas Berrigan and Gabrielle Beaulieu followed up this week to conduct counts for SwiftWatch and first counted 787 Chimney Swifts on May 22, and 898 swifts last night (verified by video playback in slow-motion). I spoke with the owner of the property today and he is happy to let people visit and observe the Chimney Swifts. In fact, he used to watch Chimney Swifts at the now-abandoned Enterprise (formerly Incutech) chimney located on the UNB Fredericton campus nearby. This is great news for Chimney Swifts and a good chance to see what would now be the largest concentration of Chimney Swifts in the Maritimes. The next SwiftWatch roost count will take place this Sunday, May 26 and I encourage everyone to visit your local roost site to take part in the counts. Surveyors are especially needed in Sainte-Anne-de-Madawaska and Saint-Quentin. The Fredericton roost chimney is located at 45.953138,-66.642601 or 710 McLeod Avenue. If anyone visits and takes photos or videos, please consider sharing them on this listserv or posting them on our open Facebook page, www.facebook.com/Maritimes.Swifts<http://www.facebook.com/Maritimes.Swifts> Thanks to Kevin, Lucas and Gabrielle for your reports, and to everyone else who has posted swift reports already this season. I look forward to sharing the season tallies later on this year.
