I have detected a few Chimney Swifts this year at the Frog Pond at Fleming Park in Jollimore, HRM, several times this year, as usual. Here are my observations: 19 May 2 Chimney Swifts 25 May 3 " 29 May 5 + " (reported to me by someone else) I do not know where they roost or nest. A few years ago I spent an evening watching the chimneys at the nearby John W. MacLeod Fleming Tower School, on the Purcell's Cove Road. I didn't see any swifts there and didn't look further, although I should have tried the chimneys at Cunard Junior High School as well. However, I'm impressed by James Churchill's use of GoogleStreetView to locate possible chimneys! Perhaps I'll try again. On 27 May I heard a single Chimney Swift during the day over the University of King's College in Halifax. A few swifts used to roost in the chimneys there, but not in recent years. On 30 May I heard and then saw a single Common Nighthawk over the Frog Pond. I don't often see them in the spring; usually I don't see them until the late summer migration. Patricia L.
