Re: [mou-net] Chimney Swift Sit - 2010
Chimney Swift Question I am going out tonight to do the chimney swift sit and the weather report looks daunting. Can we still collect data in heavy rain?

Use the next two weeks to scout sites being used by roosting swifts and you will be ready to go the first weekend in August. The Chimney Swift Sit involves finding chimneys/smokestacks/towers being used by swifts and then counting/estimating the number that go in to roost any night/s during that time period. Sunset the first weekend is right at 8:30pm. Try to be at your site from about 8:20 pm until dark. This will maximize the opportunities to watch and count/estimate the number of swifts.

Re: [mou-net] Chimney Swift Sit - 2010
I would really like to participate in this study, but do not have time to research an area to sit at. I am currently located in Eagan, MN with no vehicle, but can get to most places in the Metro Area via bus or bicycle. If anyone has a spot that they know of that someone could count at, please let me know.
