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.

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.

SUMMARY:Mi Bird-Friendly Communities Lunch & Learn Webinar Series: Chimney Swifts
DESCRIPTION:Chimney Swifts are an urban bird species that have suffered steep population declines in recent decades. Once nesting in caves\, cliff faces\, and hollow trees\, this species has become dependent on manufactured structures to simulate this habitat — most often opting for large chimneys. These aerial insectivores spend their days eating and bathing mid-flight\, returning to the roost at night to sleep. \nA 5-inch long “flying cigar” with wings\, Chimney Swifts are a fascinating species that is dependent upon human structures for their breeding and migration habits. Chimney Swifts gather by the thousands to shelter together overnight in roosting locations during spring and fall migration — most often in large chimneys of older churches\, schools\, and factories. \nJoin Juliet Berger\, president of Washtenaw Audubon\, as she shares her experience with these special birds. She will share some photos and videos and discuss ways to preserve and protect Chimney Swifts. \nYou can register for the Zoom webinar here. \nWe will also be broadcasting the webinar live through our Facebook page and a recording will be made available following the event. \n\nThis event is a part of our Mi Bird-Friendly Communities Lunch & Learn webinar series. Each webinar takes place on the second Tuesday of each month at 12 p.m. and is free.\nWebinar dates and topics: \nJan. 12 | Mi Bird-Friendly Communities Program Overview \nFeb. 9 | Nest Boxes — Maintenance and Monitoring \nMar. 9 | How To Be a Purple Martin Landlord \nApr. 13 | Bird-Window Collisions \nMay 11 | Bird-Friendly Backyards Featuring Native Plants \nJune 8 | Invasive Species — Identification and Removal Techniques \nJuly 13 | Mi Bird-Friendly Communities Program Overview \nAug. 10 | Chimney Swift Conservation Concerns and Monitoring \nSept. 14 | Lights Out and Global Bird Rescue Week \nOct. 12 | Fall Garden Clean-Up \nNov. 9 | Cats and Birds \nDec. 14 | Mi Bird-Friendly Communities — Year in Review \nYou can view past webinars in the Mi Bird-Friendly Communities Lunch & Learn playlist on Michigan Audubon’s YouTube channel.
