Chimney Swift Roost/Nest Sites in Topeka/Shawnee County

[ks...@sunflower.com]

Hi all,

The Topeka Audubon Society is interested in knowing about Chimney Swift roost sites in Topeka and Shawnee County.  If you see Chimney Swifts entering (evening) or exiting (morning) a chimney indicating an overnight roost site, or know about a chimney recently used as a Chimney Swift nest site, please feel free to share your observations by emailing us at topekasw...@gmail.com.  You may also report your sightings to the citizen science database eBird.org.  Chimney Swifts are congregating and roosting in larger numbers now as they prepare for their long migration to their winter grounds in South America. Numbers here peak around mid-September to mid-October.  If you have questions, please let us know.  This note will also be posted on Topeka Audubon Society's Facebook page.

Thank you!
