Sounds like we have a couple of swifts back in Manitoba!
Barbara Barnett reported seeing swifts in Winnipeg on the 9th May. Her report came as the following:
‘I am almost certain that I have just watched two Chimney Swifts swooping over the River between the Osborne Bridge and our condo building for 5 minutes.’
Ryon Johnson also reported seeing a couple of swifts on Wellington Crescent the previous week. We will keep you posted on more sightings, but now is the time to begin watching the skies, and the chimney tops for the coming swifts!
