Hi Jim and all=20
My last check at the Temperance St. school was June 13 when I counted =
189 Chimney Swifts with entries staggered between 21:05-21:23 and most =
around 21:12. It was 16C calm and clear skies.=20
Yesterday, June 15, at the Big I. Causeway, a large number of Bank =
Swallows were feeding along the east end of the causeway - in excess of =
200 birds. A check at the colony at the NE end of the island showed none =
there so in the drizzly weather this group of birds likely came to the =
causeway to feed. This group has been flying in and out of holes in the =
cliff bank for awhile now, but hard to tell how far along breeding is. =
There were 24 Bonaparte's Gulls at the west end of the island.=20
cheers
Ken

Wolfville's Robie Tufts Nature Centre at dusk: 111+ chimney swifts =
were counted as they dropped into the chimney for the night. I was =
pessimistic about counting swifts tonight, since this was the kind of =
evening when they might have "gone to bed" early: cool, windy, 13 C., =
very slightly drizzly after rain, and totally overcast. OBSERVATIONS =
from 8:45 to 9:20 p.m. (sunset at about 9 p.,m.). No ENTRIES into =
chimney seen until 9:00 p.m., when 80+ poured in. By 9:04, 20 more had =
entered, after which 11 stragglers entered from 9:08 to 9:17. I =
departed at 9:20 p.m.
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
