Some folks are already conducting Chimney Swift watches. The WI Chimney
Swift Working Group would appreciate your help with counts conducted this
coming weekend, Aug 31-Sept 3.
This year, on one night over the weekend Aug-September 3 observe the roost
starting about 30 minutes before sunset and estimate the number of swifts
that enter.

The number of swifts you might see going into a chimney will vary from
chimney to chimney, so at first you may just be counting by ones and twos.
For those chimneys with multiples of swifts going in, you may end up
counting by 10s and 20s.
See more information about these on the MN Audubon swift webpages,
including more directions: http://mn.audubon.org/chimney-swift-sit

Chimneyswift.org also gathers swift data, however their dates vary from
those we have chosen, working in conjunction with the MN efforts. Since our
counts take place at a more northern latitude, we suggest doing them on the
Aug 31-Sept 3 weekend.

Please send your results to me - e-mail address given below. Please call or
write with any questions.
