Posted with permission from the Ontbirds administrator. Hello all,
As many Ontbirds subscribers are by now aware, Chimney Swifts have recently been added to the Species at Risk in Ontario List. Several communities across the Province are preparing to monitor their local chimneys this upcoming breeding season for Chimney Swift activity. If there are any birders who would like to volunteer to assist with the collection of Chimney Swift data in the vicinity of Cambridge, please contact me privately by email. Alternatively you may contact Elizabeth van Stam, Project SwiftWatch Co-ordinator at Bird Studies Canada. Monitoring is straight forward and requires minimal (though consistent) effort. It is also kind of fun. I would urge birders in all communities across the Province to get involved and to help better determine what is in the best interests of our beloved Chimney Swifts!
