Chimney Swift Monitoring

Connecticut Audubon Society helped to monitor a Chimney Swift nest and roost site in summer 2013 in Hartford. Anthony Zemba, our director of conservation science, along Jack and Maggie Peretto from the Hartford Audubon Society, monitored the chimney at the Governor’s Foot Guard Armory from the last week of April until late September. They were volunteers for Chimney Swift Watch – a cooperative initiative with the University of Connecticut and the Wildlife Division of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
