SUMMARY:Chimney Swift Sit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a program introducing chimney swifts and their life history\, natural history\, and some of the remaining mysteries we are striving to uncover. Stay for a chimney swift count as they descend into their chimney at dusk. \nChimney swifts have come to rely on human-made structures\, such as chimneys\, for roosting and nesting. Mags Edwards from Minnesota DNR Nogame Wildlife Program will discuss these fascinating birds and how we can help them. \nCommunity science efforts are underway to monitor the chimney swift populations. We will hear more about these efforts from Monica Bryand of Urban Bird Collective and opportunities for you to help scout and monitor chimney swifts around the Twin Cities. As the chimney swifts circle and return to the Casa de Luz chimney for the evening\, we will count them together and submit our count to the Chimney Swift Roost Monitoring Project. \nGood to Know: \n\n\nStreet parking is free\, and somewhat limited. \n\n\n Dress for the weather and bring a lawn chair or blanket for sitting. \n\n\nThere are no bathrooms available. \n\n\nRegistration for this free event is required. Limited to 50 participants. \nThis event is free to attend; however\, an optional $5 donation per person to the church is encouraged. We will collect donations at registration and donate the lump sum to the church on the group’s behalf. \nImage credit: Ben Cvengros/Audubon Photography Awards
