Register now for workshop on declining purple martins, swifts, nighthawks
Sept. 6-8 workshop offers field trips, latest research, networking on how to help these bug-eating aerial acrobats
Purple martins, chimney swifts, tree and barn swallows, E. whip-poor-wills, and C. nighthawks are in trouble. Populations of these once common species that feed on their insect prey in flight have fallen by more than 70 percent within the last two decades in Canada and similar declines are occurring in some U.S. states and regions, including Wisconsin.
Come and learn about these species, recent research results, and what we can all do to help at the S.O.S. For Our Flying Bug Eaters workshop Sept. 6-8 in Waukesha. The workshop is sponsored by the Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative and Bird City Wisconsin and is open to the public.
Special rates at the hotel expire Aug. 6 while conference registration closes Aug. 21.
