Index of Subjects Thanks for the info Ally. Glad to hear that the Swifts adapted OK to unforeseen events- birds often do within limits. And good to know there is an alternate roost site nearby as well. Hope a more appropriate location might be found for next year too. Personally I would be happy if there were no Fireworks anywhere but that is not likely to happen- and I admit I enjoyed them as a kid.

One swift entered the roost at 9:25 pm and remained inside (the fireworks started at 10 pm), while the remainder likely used an alternate chimney down the street for the evening, based on earlier observations by Ross. I've contacted the planning committee to discuss how they might better incorporate their resident chimney swifts into future events. Thanks to Ross for continuing to monitor swifts around downtown Truro this season, and for joining me for the roost count. > > > Allison Manthorne > Maritimes Swiftwatch Coordinator > Bird Studies Canada > PO Box 6227, 17 Waterfowl Lane > Sackville, NB > amanthorne@birdscanada.org > (506) 364-5196 > ________________________________ > From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca <naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca> on behalf of nancy dowd <nancypdowd@gmail.com> > Sent: July 3, 2018 19:31 > To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca > Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Request for Truro Chimney Swift photos > > I read on a FB post fireworks were let off at the Truro Public Library for Canada Day. Any thoughts you wish to share how this may or may not have impacted the roosting Chimney Swifts? I found this info disturbing but hope the birds weathered the event OK. > > Nancy > > Sent from my iPad > > On Jul 3, 2018, at 3:38 PM, Ally Manthorne <amanthorne@bsc-eoc.org<mailto:amanthorne@bsc-eoc.org>> wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > Saltscapes Magazine is drafting an article about the history of Chimney Swifts in Truro (the current roost is located at the Public Library, formerly known as the Normal College) for an upcoming issue of the magazine. The writers are looking for photographs of Chimney Swifts from the area. If you have high-quality photos to submit for this article, especially of swifts flying into/out of the Truro chimney, please get in touch with Shawn Dalton at Saltscapes Magazine: > > Shawn Dalton > Saltscapes > Associate Publisher/Creative Director > 30 Damascus Rd, Suite 209, Bedford, NS B4A 0C1 > > T. 902-464-7258 ext. 226 > sdalton@saltscapes.com<mailto:sdalton@saltscapes.com> > > > > > Thanks, > > > Allison Manthorne > Maritimes Swiftwatch Coordinator > Bird Studies Canada > PO Box 6227, 17 Waterfowl Lane > Sackville, NB E4L 1G6 > amanthorne@birdscanada.org<mailto:amanthorne@birdscanada.org> > (506) 364-5196
