2024 Swift Night Out at the Milwaukee County Greenhouse property. Photo courtesy of Rita Flores Wiskowski.

The BIPOC Birding Club, along with Milwaukee Birders and the Wisconsin Metro Audubon Society (WMAS) will be getting together to watch and count Chimney Swifts return to their chimney roosts at Trowbridge Street Elementary School in the Bay View neighborhood.

What to Expect

We will gather in the playground behind the school starting at 7pm and expect that the swifts will be gone by 8pm. Bring a chair and a non-alcoholic beverage to watch the spectacle of the swifts swirling in. WMAS will be bringing some snacks.

The photo is from an event from last year at the Milwaukee County Greenhouse property.
