Hi all

Four days this time of year makes quite a difference. I checked the =
Temperance St school chimney last night (Aug 12) and counted 54 Chimney =
Swifts entering the chimney between 8:43-8:45.  My last check on Aug 8 =
was 171 birds so the show will soon be over here in New Glasgow for =
another year. Once again someone arrived too late last night to observe, =
so if coming arrive bit earlier.=20

Congratulations and thanks to Helene and crew at Cobequid Wildlife Rehab =
Centre on getting 3 force-orphaned Chimney Swifts rehab'd enough to send =
off to Hudson Quebec so they could be released with the more =
late-leaving swifts from that city once the birds are raised enough to =
join up with the group there. (see article in today's Chronicle Herald). =
This is a very big job and thanks to Helene for once again taking on =
that onerous job as she did the same last year.=20

I had a report of 8-10 Common Nighthawks by Judy O'Brien and Giesle =
d'Entremont along the West Pugwash River Road yesterday evening.
cheers
Ken
