Hello all. This is my first post here, as I just found this site.
I have a question for any of you who live in central USA, Illinois or Missouri specifically.
I have been tracking the arrival and departure dates for Chimney Swifts since 1979 (I know, sounds a bit weird.)
This year as of today I have seen NONE.
I'm quite concerned about this species, and was wondering if this was just a local anomaly (I live in SW ILL) or a more widespread issue.
Any help would be welcomed, as I am concerned about my little friends.
Thank you all.
