SUMMARY:Essex County Nature Meeting
DESCRIPTION:A little bird in big trouble: using Citizen Science to help the recovery of\n Chimney Swifts –  A talk by Liz Purves\, Ontario SwiftWatch Coordinator\, Bird Studies Canada. \nBirds that feed on flying insects while on the wing (“aerial insectivores”) are experiencing\nwidespread population declines across North America. One urban-dwelling aerial insectivore\, the\nChimney Swift\, is experiencing particularly steep population declines across its breeding range in\neastern North America\, likely because of a multitude of factors. Through the SwiftWatch project\,\nBird Studies Canada (BSC)\, its partners\, and hundreds of volunteers are working to help Chimney\nSwift recovery in Ontario and across the country\, largely by identifying\, monitoring\, and\npromoting stewardship of nest and roost sites. This talk will first provide an introduction to BSC\nand its broader Citizen Science initiatives\, then dive into the current state of Chimney Swifts and\nthe aerial insectivore guild\, and lastly share what BSC and Citizen Scientists are doing to help.
