[BNS_members] Reminder: Bank Swallows Webinar Tomorrow Evening

[Caroline Beddoe]

Good evening, 

A reminder of tomorrow's webinar on Bank Swallows: Life History, Habitat
& Conservation, presented by Heather Polowyk from Birds Canada. It will
be recorded for those who miss it!

JOIN US WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 28 AT 7:00 PM ON ZOOM TO LEARN ALL ABOUT
BANK SWALLOWS & HOW YOU CAN HELP THEM IN OUR AREA. REGISTER FOR THE ZOOM
HERE: HTTPS://US02WEB.ZOOM.US/.../TZYTF... [1] 

Bank Swallows are aerial insectivores (birds that eat insects while
flying). As a group, aerial insectivores are declining at a faster rate
than any other bird group in Canada. This presentation will look at the
life history of Bank Swallows, including habitat, migration and breeding
behaviour. We will examine Bank Swallow's status in Canada and why they
are at risk. Finally, we will discuss ways Birds Canada, the BNS and
you, can help these birds recover. 

Our presenter is Heather Polowyk, the Bank Swallow Conservation
Coordinator for Birds Canada in the Atlantic region. They have worked to
create a Bank Swallow monitoring project to assess the population status
across the region, encouraging people to know how to identify swallows
and report sightings of colonies. 
  Warmly, 

Caroline
