Live from Windsor Park?

How about volunteering for the Manitoba Chimney Swift Initiative ?

Last night (Wednesday the 29th, May), 3 Chimney Swifts were spotted over two apartments in Windsor Park in Winnipeg. These apartments both have open chimneys. The sighting was at 9pm, during the roost hour, and the birds disappeared quickly, possibly into the chimneys. 

We are looking for someone living in the area who might be willing to do a formal roost count at these chimneys on Elizabeth Road. Although we have a formal roost monitoring night this evening, we would be happy for someone to watch them on any other night.

Please let us know if you are interested in helping out by emailing mbchimneyswift@gmail.com
