Join the Effort, Become a Swift Observer!

Since 2007, we have been monitoring Vaux’s Swifts in Monroe and need your help to keep this long-term project going. We also help coordinate surveys of the roosts in Sedro-Woolley with Skagit Audubon. Use our volunteer calendar below to sign up for a shift as an observer at one of the chimneys.

For the Monroe roost, we have space for up to 3 volunteers per night. For the Sedro-Woolley roosts, we have space for only 1 volunteer per night because we are short on volunteers and need to spread our survey efforts out to as many nights as possible.

If you cannot make a shift you signed up for at the Monroe or Sedro-Woolley roosts, please let us know as soon as you can:

• Monroe: Judy Alles, Monroe Swifts Volunteer Coordinator (crackerjackalles@gmail.com / 360-348-1050)

• Sedro-Woolley: Brian Zinke (director@pilchuckaudubon.org / 425-232-6811)

If you are a first time observer, please contact Judy Alles prior to volunteering to set up a time to receive more information and training.
