Greetings,

As the nesting season for Chimney Swifts draws to a close, these aerial
acrobats begin to gather in large communal roosts.  For several years now
we have been hosting A Swift Night Out in an effort to increase awareness
about the plight of Chimney Swifts.  The event involves locating a Chimney
Swift or Vaux's Swift roost in your community, arriving at dusk on the
evening of the event and counting the swifts as they enter the roost for
the night.  Results that are reported back to us will then be placed on our
web site on a locator map.

In 2004, we will once again have two Swifts Nights Out to accommodate our
more northern contributors.  The first event will be on August 13, 14 and
15.  This is a little early for many USA roosts, but it can be a great
scouting event in preparation of the final event in September.  The main
event will be held the weekend after Labor Day:  September 10, 11 and 12.
For more information and to see the results from previous year's events,
please visit our web site at
www.chimneyswifts.org and click on the link to A Swift Night Out.  Or you
can go directly to the results page at
http://www.concentric.net/%7edwa/page74.html

Please forward this email to conservation and birding groups in your area,
and help us make this year's event the best ever.

Thanks!

Paul and Georgean
