Day 27

One of our famous landmarks is the Robie Tufts Nature Centre pavilion in Wolfville, N.S. Here is where a bird called the chimney swifts call there home. The chimney is part of an old milk building that had stopped using there chimney, and these swifts set up nest there. The building was demolised but they left the chimney standing to preserve the swifts resting place. If you gathered in the park around dusk, you can watch the swifts make their descent into the chimney. They swirl around the chimney and then fall like leaves down into there home. Pretty neat to see. They nest in Nova Scotia from May to August, and then migrate south To Peru for the remaining months.

Heres A movie someone did of them entering the chimney
