*Chimney Swift Count 2012*

/
/


Help count Chimney Swifts this weekend, Friday to Monday, Aug. 31 to 
Sept. 3 during Wisconsin's first "Swift Sit"! If you can't count this 
weekend, you can count next weekend, Sept. 7-9, during the nationwide 
"Swift Night Out". Or you can count on any evening until the last swift 
leaves for South America.

*HERE'S HOW*. Choose a likely chimney. Observe and count all swifts that 
enter the chimney starting about 30 minutes prior to sunset until 10 
minutes after the last swift has entered. Count any evening in September 
or October (*_TARGET DATES_*: *_Swift Sit_ (Wisconsin) Aug. 31 to Sept. 
3, 2012; _Swift Night Out_ (nationwide) Sept. 7-9, 2012). *For more 
information, see Audubon Minnesota http://mn.audubon.org/chimney-swift-sit

done_ /(scan or copy info into email)//to Bill Mueller, Western Great
