Tomorrow, Wednesday the 8th August may well be our final swift night of 2018. The summer is alas, too short, but the fun is still to be had counting swift across our province.For tomorrow, those outside of Winnipeg, who have done brilliantly following the progress of their swifts, if you can get out to do something, continue to watch for those fledged birds.
For anyone in Winnipeg, we are doing a blitz of chimneys in the west of St James. There are a number of sites to watch, and we are looking to count as many swifts as possible. If you are interested in coming, please email us at mbchimneyswift@gmail.com, or meet at the corner of Moorgate and Portage Avenue at 8pm. From Deer Lodge to Moray, there appear to be numerous possibilities for soaring swifts. We had at least 35 around the area on Sunday evening.
If St. James is too far, then feel free to get out one last time and watch for those fledged swifts in the air.
