--Boundary_(ID_E5kjIEAz9winhrC388urbw) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT THANKS, KEN, AND VERY IMPRESSIVE. On May 17 at dusk, Tony Napoli counted about 95 swifts, which all went in together at 9:04 p.m. at the Robie Tufts Nature Centre in Wolfville. I watched the sw. chimney of University Hall, where apparently some roosted last year, but I only saw one swift drop in. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.

Unfortunately last night was miserable in New Glasgow with 6C, overcast and a little windy. Added to those negative factors, I arrived at the School of Temperance St Apartments later than I planned at 20:31. Over the next 20 min or so, only 4 Swifts went in. One can assume the main flock entered earlier in the evening to save energy. > > I decided to go back again tonight although the temperature was still only 7C but it was calm, and clear skies. I arrived at 20:18 and a nice flock of more than 100 Swifts was circling the chimney. Over the next 20 min or so many more joined in and many circles of the chimney and false dives were made with loads of twittering. Between 20:41-20:43, 350 entered the chimney and stragglers continued to 20:56 when the last 4 went in for a nice total of 384. Next official count night is May 23. Hoping for a clear night and even bigger numbers. > > All the best > Ken > > Sent from my iPad > Ken McKenna > Stellarton > NS --Boundary_(ID_E5kjIEAz9winhrC388urbw) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <html><head><meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html = charset=3Dus-ascii"></head><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; = -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: = after-white-space;">THANKS, KEN, AND VERY IMPRESSIVE.
