Hi everyone

(apologies for duplicates if you are on more than one list)


Pictou Co. Naturalists and Maritimes Swiftwatch have a special event =
planned for this coming Friday evening in New Glasgow. . =20


A SWIFT NIGHT OUT!=20

Friday, May 27th 7:00pm-9:00pm=20

Talk at New Glasgow Library, followed by Chimney Swifts viewing at 334 =
Temperance Street=20

=20

Every spring, hundreds of Chimney Swifts arrive in New Glasgow from =
South America, putting on spectacular shows when they go to roost at the =
former Temperance Street Elementary School each night. Join us to learn =
about Chimney Swift biology, why these birds are disappearing, and what =
we can do to help! After the presentation (weather permitting) we will =
make our way down to the former Temperance Street Elementary School to =
watch hundreds of swifts come to roost for the night in the chimney. =
It's a natural phenomenon!

The Chimney Swifts have returned once again earlier this month to their =
roost at the old Temperance St. School and are providing a fine display =
of nature as dusk approaches. On fine sunny evenings this week, the =
swifts are going in just after 9pm but gather before that. Birds will go =
in earlier on cloudy evenings like the 254 that entered tonight at 8:57. =
We were rained out last year but forecast is looking good for Friday so =
fingers crossed.=20

So join us at 7pm at the New Glasgow Public Library 182 Dalhousie St. =
New Glasgow for an illustrated presentation and Q & A on the fascinating =
Chimney Swifts. Refreshments will be served. Then head down at **8:30pm =
to 334 Temperance St. for the Chimney Swift Spectacle.=20

Dress warmly and bring a chair=20

** weather dependent
