Index of Subjects Wow, Ken! Thanks for sharing your report (and sacrificing your hot supper). The link you posted did not work for me, but this one should: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S45972385 We have received a few reports of Chimney Swifts returning to nest chimneys already this week, so I would encourage anyone living near a known nest site to check for swifts. Feel free to contact Maritimes SwiftWatch (506-364-5196 or marswifts@birdscanada.org) for advice on how to find nest sites or check known sites near you. Thanks again, Ken!

The poor weather seemed to be restricted to Pictou Co on the radar from Env Canada. I ditched supper and left to see if any swifts were at the Temperance St School Apartments chimney and was not surprised to see 50 flying around when I arrived. I have no way of knowing if Swifts went in prior to my arrival. Anyway it was a long wet evening of observations but a very warm result with the exception of one poor swift that was snatched mid-air by e Merlin. Results are posted on eBird at https://ebird.org/edit/checklist?subID=S45972385 Click to see the impressive total. Should be good numbers on most nights for next week or so but on warmer clear nights the swifts will not be present before 20:30 and may not go in till after 21:00 Cheers Ken Sent from my iPad Ken McKenna Stellarton NS
