Volunteers needed to monitor Chimney Swifts

Conservation Halton is looking for community volunteers interested in helping the national effort to monitor Chimney Swifts right here in Halton.

This at risk bird is in decline and CH is seeking volunteers who can help by visiting known roost sites on three evenings this spring (May 29, June 2 and June 6). Data will help national recovery efforts as part of the Bird Studies Canada program by monitoring populations and identifying active chimneys. For more information on how you can get involved please e-mail Nigel Finney at nfinney@hrca.on.ca.

Please respond by May 25 and include which dates you are available and your preferred community to monitor (Burlington, Oakville, Milton).
