SUMMARY:Community Swift Sits - Please Register
DESCRIPTION:Help protect a Minnesota species in decline!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUrban Bird Collective (UBC) invites LLBA to Community Swift Sits.\nChimney Swifts (Chaetura pelagica) are aerial insectivores whose populations are dropping. Because they rely on human-built structures for nesting and roosting\, the Twin Cities area and surrounding regions are ideal for observing and protecting them.  This year\, the University of Minnesota (UBC) is partnering with the Department of Natural Resources\, Fish & Wildlife Services Migratory Birds\, and the MN Valley National Wildlife Refuge to gather vital ecological data through community science.  Join us this August and September to observe these spectacular birds! \nSurvey Schedule & Locations \n\nFriday\, August 28th: Mahtomedi High School\nTuesday\, September 1st: Mahtomedi High School\nMonday\, September 7th: Mahtomedi High School\nMonday\, September 14th: Mahtomedi High School\n\nThe Main Roost: Historically\, Mahtomedi High School (8000 75th St. N\, Mahtomedi\, MN) has hosted up to 2\,000 chimney swifts each night! Bring a chair or blanket and join us 45 minutes before dusk for a special evening of observation. \nImportant Sign-Up Note: Due to recent weather and smoke conditions\, we aren’t entirely sure how the natural staging process will be impacted. We are asking all attendees to sign up in advance so we can contact you immediately in case we need to cancel or reschedule an event. Contact Monica Bryand with any questions at urbanbirdcollective@gmail.com.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Community Swift Sit Sign-Up
