Avian Urbanites: Chimney Swifts in Toronto

Join us for an informative evening with Bird Studies Canada biologist Dan Riley who will be discussing one of Toronto’s most unique urban birds, the Chimney Swift. Often referred to as “cigars with wings” Chimney Swifts can be seen wheeling around the sky high above the city during the summer months. Learn about their lives, how they got their name, why they are disappearing and how you can help protect this amazing species. At the conclusion of the talk enjoy an evening walk where we will hope to see some of the Chimney Swifts who call the neighborhoods around High Park home.

For adults and youth ages 8+
