May 18 (optional), May 22, May 26, May 30 & June 3 During spring and fall migration, Chimney Swifts congregate at communal roosts at dusk and can often be seen entering roost chimneys in large groups shortly after sunset. Join the SwiftWatch Team & help count Chimney Swifts entering Barrie’s 5 roost chimneys. Like many “aerial insectivores” Chimney Swifts have seriously declined in Canada, and our club has undertaken a monitoring role in town. Call Steph for details.

TRIPS

A number of BFNC members have volunteered their time and expertise to bring you a great outdoor trip program. As usual we have some old favourites and some really exciting new ones. Although birds are a focus there will be something for every interest. Please join them in exploring the natural history of Simcoe county. Check our Facebook page for any last minute changes or check with the trip leader or Jim Coey NB trip coordinator (705) 543-1866.
