7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
WNMU Harlan Hall, Room 111
12th and Alabama, Silver City
Join Carol Ann Fugagli to learn more about the long-term Cliff Swallow monitoring project, its results so far, and how to become a volunteer.
Community members have closely monitored Cliff Swallow nesting behavior for the past 10 years, yielding interesting insights into their nesting cycle. In even-numbered years, we conduct an intensive campus-wide survey at WNMU to determine how many Cliff Swallow young fledge per nest. Over the long term, we can assess the importance of WNMU's buildings to these graceful flyers.
