MAY 23, 2012 - Tonight was a mandatory SwiftWatch Check Night at  
various roost sites.  At dusk I got to Wolfville's Robie Tufts Nature  
Centre at 8:09 p.m., just in time to see a single chimney swift drop  
into the chimney! (oops! so perhaps a few were missed earlier?).   
After that the total of 55 swift entries into the chimney were mostly  
very gradual, over a long period, except for a brief flurry of about  
16 swifts at 8:33 to 8:35 p.m.  Sunset was at 8:44.  Sky totally  
overcast, cool, 11 C., with a moderate breeze.  Entries seen were  
stretched out from the 8:09 arrival to 9:05 p.m., and I departed at  
9:10, when it was very difficult to see.  Observer Jim Wolford.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
