Migration Progress

Hello swifters. It’s coming up to mid-March and I thought this would be a great opportunity to keep all our volunteers who do not use eBird updated on the migration movements of Chimney Swifts through North America. I will try to make this a weekly event.

The map only shows records from 2016. The earliest records are those found in Peru. In February there is clear movement into Central America, with the most recent records in Florida and Alabama (last record on the 7th).

To see these maps for yourself, go to http://www.ebird.ca, select ‘Explore Data’ and then ‘Species Maps’. 

Cheers

Tim Poole
