In evening I did a vigil for Chimney Swifts at the Robie Tufts Nature  
Centre, from 8:01 to 8:48 p.m., and I was rewarded by seeing 3 CH.  
SWIFTS rapidly dive into the RTNC chimney and 3 more fly by and away  
at 8:15 p.m.  I never saw the latter 3 go into the chimney, but I was  
not fully attentive during my entire watch (brief noddings); thus I  
will record my total as 6+ swifts.  Sunset tonight in the Herald  
newspaper was 8:32 p.m.

Short vigils on May 10,11,&12 by myself produced no sightings of  
swifts, but a few swifts could have been here and inside the  
chimney.  Thus a zero does not necessarily denote an absence of swifts.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
