What's New?

I'm busy with the compilation of reports for our provincial and federal grant providers (and I'll post the results ASAP), but I have prepared some preliminary information based on monitoring reports received.

There's a summary of chimney sites and monitoring results at
http://www.naturemanitoba.ca/birder/monitoring_data.pdf

For a map of monitored sites in Winnipeg, check out

and for a map of Manitoba sites with reported chimney swifts in 2011, look at

There are links to all of these URLs on the Chimney Swift page on the Nature Manitoba website (http://www.naturemanitoba.ca/CHSW.html ).

All of the above are "works in progress" and I'll update/correct them as we go along.

For all of you who have sent in reports, thanks.

If any of you see swifts in your travels, please pass along the details of your sightings.
