For anyone interested, here is the information about the Chimney Swift Training Program from Elisabeth at Bird Studies Canada:


The workshop will be held on Saturday June 5th at the Burlington Public Library in the Frank Rose Boardroom. I do not have a room number for that, but I am sure they will be happy to help direct you at the information desk.

The meeting starts at 9:30 AM and will run until approximately 2 PM. It could end earlier depending on the interests of the group.

Refreshments are not provided so bring snacks/lunch with you for the lunch break.

In the morning I will provide a presentation background on the natural history and status of the Chimney Swift followed by an overview of the protocols required to run a complete SwiftWatch program in your own community.

We will break for lunch and then in the afternoon do a brief walking tour of the Burlington area looking for Chimney Swifts, filling out Chimney Assessment forms, and identifying potential Chimney Swift nest/roost chimneys.
