SUMMARY:Swift Night Out in East Lansing
DESCRIPTION:Join Michigan Audubon for a social hour and swift viewing event on Monday\, August 28 at 7 p.m. We will meet at Crunchy’s for a drink or dinner\, then walk to the nearby People’s Church (200 W Grand River Ave\, East Lansing\, MI) at 8 p.m. to watch the roost chimney. Swifts will start gathering in large numbers around 8:30 p.m. and the spectacle will end by 9 p.m. No birding experience or equipment is necessary but cameras and binoculars are encouraged. Come out for a fun\, casual evening to view these urban birds as they migrate south! \nRSVP to Rachelle Roake at rroake@michiganaudubon.org or (517) 580-7364. This event is weather dependent and will be canceled for rain. Those who RSVP ahead of time will receive an email notification announcing any changes. \nIf you’re not able to join us\, you can still help! Surveying for swifts is fun\, easy\, and suitable for all ages. Potential roost locations are fun to search for – start looking for large\, uncapped chimneys on historical buildings\, old factories\, schools\, churches\, courthouses\, or libraries. Learn more about conducting surveys\, find data sheets\, and enter survey data at our website at https://www.michiganaudubon.org/our-conservation-impact/chsw/

SUMMARY:Workshop: Swifts in the City!
DESCRIPTION:Swifts in the City! A free workshop hosted by Michigan Audubon\n\n\nDate: Tuesday\, August 8 \nTime: 7 – 8:30 p.m. \nLocation: Michigan Audubon Headquarters\, 2310 Science Parkway\, Suite 200\, Okemos\, MI 48864 \n\n\nPlease join us for Michigan Audubon’s August Workshop: Swifts in the City! Have you heard chipping and chattering above your head when you’re in an urban downtown area or neighborhood? Have you seen small “bats” flying during the daytime? Chimney Swifts are unique\, “cigar-shaped” birds that live alongside people in many cities and neighborhoods and are easily confused with bats. They play an important role as natural pest control by consuming thousands of flying insects per day. Sadly\, these birds are declining across the country\, but you can help! Join us to learn about these charming city-loving birds and find out how to help through monitoring and creating habitat. The workshop will include an indoor talk followed by a short carpool to a Chimney Swift roost location to witness the amazing spectacle of roosting behavior. This workshop is great for non-birders and birders alike\, newbies to experts. Educators or community leaders are encouraged to attend as counting swifts in the fall is a fun\, easy activity for all ages and makes for a great evening community event. And consider participating in “A Swift Night Out”\, an annual continent-wide effort that began in 2001 to raise awareness about and encourage interest in Chimney Swifts and Vaux’s Swifts. On one night (Friday\, Saturday or Sunday) over the second weekend of August and/or September observe a roost starting about 30 minutes before sunset and estimate the number of swifts that enter the site. Then submit your data to the Michigan Audubon Chimney Swift Roost Monitoring project. For more information\, visit https://www.michiganaudubon.org/our-conservation-impact/chsw/.\n\n[vc_button url=”https://www.eventbrite.com/e/michigan-audubon-workshop-series-2017-swifts-in-the-city-tickets-36513775686″ text=”>> Click here to register for Swifts in the City” size=”big” align=”left” type=”primary” outlined=”0″ icon=”” target=”_blank”]

SUMMARY:Great Backyard Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:Launched in 1998 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society\, the Great Backyard Bird Count was the first online citizen-science project to collect data on wild birds and to display results in near real-time. \nNow\, more than 160\,000 people of all ages and walks of life worldwide join the four-day count each February to create an annual snapshot of the distribution and abundance of birds. \nWe invite you to participate! For at least 15 minutes on one or more days of the count\, February 17-20\, 2017\, simply tally the numbers and kinds of birds you see. You can count from any location\, anywhere in the world\, for as long as you wish! \nIf you’re new to the count\, or have not participated since before the 2013 merger with eBird\, you must create a free online account to enter your checklists. If you already have an account\, just use the same login name and password. If you have already participated in another Cornell Lab citizen-science project\, you can use your existing login information\, too. \nClick here for more info on how to get started.
