Middlefork Audubon September Meeting – Chimney Swift Sit-in and Emiquon Program
Thursday, September 26th- Chimney Swift Sit-in and Emiquon Program At the end of summer chimney swifts gather into large groups to migrate to South America.

The lives of these widespread urban birds are surprisingly unstudied, because of their inaccessible nesting and roosting sites and their aerial lifestyle. -Cornell Lab of Ornithology Beginning at 6:00 PM - Chimney Swift viewing Weather permitting, come join the Middlefork Audubon Society outside in the parking lot on the south side of the Danville Public for a spectacular view of these lovely birds up close- we hope! Binoculars are probably not needed this evening, but feel free to bring them…
