Dear Associate,
The Chimney Swift nesting season is drawing to a close, and the roosting
flocks have begun to congregate. Once again this year we are going to try
to raise awareness of Chimney Swifts and Vaux's Swifts by holding our third
annual Swift Night Out.
In 2003, we will have two Swifts Nights Out to accommodate our more
northern contributors. The first event will be on August 15, 16 and 17 .
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 5, 6 and 7.
We propose that over the next couple of weeks you locate a Chimney Swift or
Vaux's Swift roost in your area. A roost is a location where swifts gather
at dusk to spend the night. Then on one night over the weekend of August
15, 16 and 17 , you observe the roost at dusk and estimate the number of
swifts that enter. When you have your number, contact us with your
results. We will set up a page on our web site to compile the results as
they come in. You may send in your results by email, fax, phone or
regular mail - we will continue to update the results through
mid-September. Here are the contact numbers:

Along with the number of swifts counted, please include your city and state
or province and the date that you observed the roost. If you provide the
exact location of the roost that you monitor, we will also include that
information in the results.
If you are a member of a local bird club, outdoor group, Audubon chapter or
any other organization that might be interested in participating, please
ask them to pass this information along to their membership. For more
information and to see the results from previous years, go to:

Thank you for your support of Chimney Swift conservation. We look forward
to hearing from you!
Best Regards,
Paul and Georgean
