How well do you know this compact, aerial acrobat? Facing steep population declines, the Chimney Swift is one urban bird that we should all get behind. In this presentation you will learn the identification and life history of the Chimney Swift along with issues these birds are grappling with. We will also discuss ways that YOU can help with Chimney Swift conservation and what Michigan Audubon is doing across the state to help this enigmatic bird.
This is a hybrid event. The program will take place at the Ann Arbor District Library: Downtown, and will also be streamed on our YouTube channel. Click on the "LIVE" link appearing on our channel when the program is in session.
