Melinda Welton asked me to forward the following concerning the Swift
Night Out program this fall. She considers it fun and hopes more
Tennessee birders will join the event.

Subject: Fw: A Swift Night Out
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
