JULY 3, 2011 - With help from a couple from England, I counted 49+  
chimney swifts at dusk at Wolfville's Robie Tufts Nature Centre.   
Observations from 9:00 to 9:35 p.m. or later (Sunset 9:05).  Sky  
clear, windy, warm, 22 C.  The first swifts entered the chimney at  
9:10, then slowly and gradually to 9:20, and then many (23) poured in  
at 9:22, followed by noticeable silence (no chittering).  Then there  
were 10 more gradual and mostly silent entries (and one EXIT) until  
9:35, when visibility was very limited.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
