Hi all,



Chimney Swifts are moving into Nova Scotia this week in small numbers (see =
Ken McKenna's May 7 post from New Glasgow), marking the beginning of anothe=
r season for Maritimes SwiftWatch.



In 2013, SwiftWatch participants will count Chimney Swifts at roost sites d=
uring spring migration on the following dates: May 22, May 26, May 30, and =
June 3. These counts are part of a national monitoring effort across Canada=
 to identify Chimney Swift population trends. Counters are still needed at =
the Mabou, Cape Breton roost site so please let us know if you will be in t=
he area and available to visit the roost on those dates.



We are asking Nova Scotians to continue searching for and reporting active =
nest and roost sites in both anthropogenic sites (e.g. chimneys) and natura=
l areas. To share a Chimney Swift sighting, report a new roost or nest site=
, or help monitor an existing site, please contact us (marswifts@birdscanad=
a.org<mailto:marswifts@birdscanada.org> ; 1-506-364-5196) or consider shari=
ng your sightings and roost counts on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/M=
aritimes.Swifts<http://www.facebook.com/Maritimes.Swifts>; omit specific ad=
dress information if posting here), on NatureCounts (http://www.birdscanada=
.org/birdmon/mar_swift/) or via eBird. We also invite you to "like" us and =
post your stories, photos, videos and questions on our Facebook page.



To learn more about Maritimes SwiftWatch, read our 2012/13 newsletter and d=
ownload instructions, data sheets and other resources, visit the SwiftWatch=
 website at http://www.birdscanada.org/volunteer/acswifts/.


Thank you and happy swift-watching!
