SPEND THE ROOST HOUR IN SAINT ADOLPHE !
Mark your calendars for the evening of Monday, June 4. That’s the date for our chimney swift watch at Saint Adolphe. Come out and see are five active chimneys in a small area and check one of our artificial nest structures with its multicolour interpretive signage!.
The swifts should be very active and visible, and they should return to their chimneys during the so-called “roost hour” — a half hour before sunset to a half hour after sunset. Approximately ten swifts have been seen in the area. (Sunset will be around 9:30 P.M.)
