Ian,
Thank-you for your post. Maritimes Swiftwatch is also looking for Chimney Swift photos for use in presentations, factsheets and our website (which we are in the process of designing!). If you have photos of Chimney Swifts, roost buildings, or volunteers conducting swift watches we would love to use them. We are NOT looking for photos of nests or nesting swifts, however, as the birds are sensitive to disturbance at the nest.
If you have photos that you would like to share with Maritimes Swiftwatch, please send to marswifts@birdscanada.org along with a brief description (name of building, if applicable, or date taken would be useful).
Thank-you in advance!

Subject: [NatureNS] Chimney Swift photo request
All:
With all the excellent reporting on swifts, I wonder If I might insert
a request that someone try for a good photo of one of them in flight,
preferably from the side with wings full extended, like the one that
Hans Toom photographed late in the wake of Hurricane "Wilma." See it at:
http://www.hanstoom.com/images/ChimneySwift1.jpg
That bird seems to have some features of Vaux's (which some were
looking for after "Wilma" stormed in from the Caribbean). Although it
probably would not be enough for acceptance on a NS list, the
comparison would be instructive nonetheless.
Hopefully, Ian
Ian McLaren
