Hi all

Last night, Holly Lightfoot from Bird Studies Canada gave an informative =
talk at the New Glasgow Library on the life history of the Chimney Swift =
to a group of about 35. The talk was followed by a visit to the =
Temperance St. school where we were joined by quite a few others, maybe =
80-100 in total, to view an impressive flock of about 300 swifts fly =
into the school chimney between 8:46-8:54. The talk and visit to the =
chimney and the publicity generated gave a great boost to awareness of =
this threatened species to many who were not aware of the birds in the =
community and the importance of the school chimney to these birds. Note =
the school closed in June and the Town of New Glasgow is in the process =
of selling the school.   =20


cheers
Ken
