Chimney Swift sighting reports have been coming in over the past week!
We’ve had sightings in Saint Adolphe, Headingley and from Norwood Flats and Saint James in Winnipeg. They may already be in an area near you… As Scotty observed at the end of The Thing From Another World, “Keep looking. Keep watching the skies.”
The “official” monitoring season is starting soon, and details about our program for 2018 may be found by scrolling down.
We have a “training night” of viewing at The Assiniboine School in Winnipeg (near Polo Park) on May 18. For years, there has been significant swift usage of the chimney at the school. Scroll down for details.
We have already had activity in the chimney at the Moorgate Apartments (2187 Portage Avenue) in Saint James, and we would like to have a volunteer to observe this site over the coming season. The building is in the Silver Heights neighbourhood in St. James, and it can be monitored from the comfort of your car on Portage Avenue across from the apartments.
