Index of Subjects Hi Lois, and All I've emailed Ally. She was involved when the colony was discovered in the Bridgetown HS chimney during the demolition. A new chimney-type tower was built for them and the Swifts have been using it - which is quite neat. Anyhow, I'm hoping she will be able to help as it seems hard to get anyone to take the Migratory Bird Convention Act or the SAR very seriously. Very sad. I'm quite disappointed actually.
