[James W. Wolford]

MAY 23, 2009 -- Someone anonymous watched and counted 24 CHIMNEY  
SWIFTS at dusk at Robie Tufts Nature Centre in Wolfville at dusk.

MAY 24, 2009 -- ROBIE TUFTS NATURE CENTRE, WOLFVILLE, at dusk: 61+  
total CHIMNEY SWIFTS counted as they entered the chimney from 8:53 to  
9:15 p.m. -- observations from 8:48 to 9:15 p.m. (Sunset time 8:45)  
-- mostly clear sky, calm, 14 C. to 12 C. -- observers Jacquie Roche,  
Chris Toplack, Jim Wolford -- again tonight the calm conditions and  
no vehicle traffic allowed me to hear the swifts' twittering very  
well and often.
