On Sunday night (June5) I arrived at 8:40. It was raining a little at the time and I had not realized it had started to rain. I met Nelson and Pat Poirier there who had arrived about 8:10. There were quite a few swifts when they arrived and about 8:15 a Merlin made a pass and scattered them all. They reassembled and most went in before I arrived at 8:40. The Poiriers did not count, but there were hindreds. A few entered as well between my arrival at 8:40 till I left at 9:10 or so. Last night ( June 6 was more of a typical night. It had rained a bit in the evening, but was not when I arrived early (8:10) because of the previous night. This was the last of the spring Swiftwatch nights and I wanted to get as accurate a count as possible. A few swifts appeared after I arrived, but it was 8:46 before one entered. The majorith piles in between 8:56-8:57 but there were stragglerrs to 9:14. My total for the nihgt was 515. A very fine show indeed. There were no other observers although someone pulled in at 9:00 and only saw a couple of swifts. It was only 14C, 100 % overcast and some sprinkles of rain at times last night. cheers ken --Boundary_(ID_4nMGks+1EnaHdgTO8fh+pA) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.19046"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ken McKenna<BR>Box 218 Stellarton NS<BR>B0K 1S0<BR>902 752-7644<BR></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi all</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>The last 2 night were a bit different from each other for the Temperance St. swifts.
