Hi all
Another great show of Chimney Swifts at Temperance St. school tonight. =
Birds were entering the chimney as I arrived at 8:36 and the sky was =
filled with twittering. Most birds (322) entered at 8:50 with the final =
bird at 8:51. My total for the night, I think a bit conservative, was =
371. There were 6 people there to observe tonight. It was clear, calm =
and 9C.=20

Rick Ferguson was there and at the old Drummond Mine site today he had =
Chestnut-sided, Yellow and Common Yellowthroat as new spring Warblers =
for him as well as an Eastern Kingbird. I had a couple of Cliff Swallows =
at Churchville- new for me for the spring.=20

I the afternoon I went looking for butterflies in the Sunnybrae Game =
Sanctuary, but no luck in a boggy area or on the barrens. Butterflies =
have been rather hard to find this year.=20
cheers
Ken
