Swift Night Out
July 9, 2022 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
On Saturday, July 9, the Vernon County Museum will host its first Swift Night Out. The museum’s large chimney is an attractive place for hundreds of chimney swifts to roost at night. This event will take place outside in the museum’s parking lot, so we can all observe the birds.
The evening will begin at 8PM with a brief talk about chimney swifts by Barb Duerksen of the Wisconsin Society of Ornithology. Then, between 8:30 and 9PM, we’ll watch the swifts return to roost in the chimney. Popcorn will be available for purchase. Bring a lawn chair to sit on.
