Thanks Jim and Tony!
Last night, Chimney Swift counts were done at roost chimneys in Bear River,=
Weymouth, Middleton, McGowan Lake, Wolfville, Truro, New Glasgow, Oxford, =
and Mabou, as well as 10 roost sites in New Brunswick, and across Quebec, O=
ntario, and Manitoba.
So far reports are as follows: 16 in Truro, about 100 in Bear River, and 14=
2 in New Glasgow. The next synchronized roost count will be May 29, then J=
une 2 and June 6. I encourage anyone interested in previous years' reports =
to check out both Jim's listserv postings and the Maritimes SwiftWatch news=
letters, which include annual results from 2011-2015 : http://www.birdscana=
