project on chimney swifts. This bird species historically used hollow trees for nesting, constructing a rather haphazard nest out of sticks and saliva. They adapted readily to using the human-made equivalent of a hollow tree … chimneys. As we have progressed to high efficiency furnaces, etc., the construction of traditional brick chimneys (that are not capped) has declined. This in turn has caused a decline in chimney swift populations. One aspect of Maureen’s project is to look at the effectiveness of artificial “chimneys” or towers as an alternate nesting site for this species. Maureen was looking for locations around central Illinois to place her towers where they could, hopefully, be monitored on a regular basis. Upon hearing about the bird monitoring/banding activities here at LLCC, she elected to erect a tower in the prairie between the lake and the softball field. If the nesting tower is used by chimney swifts, Maureen will monitor the nesting activities with an internal camera and possibly attach GPS locators to a bird to monitor the short-term movements of that individual bird.
students need to have a overall 3.0 GPA, have earned a grade of “A” or “B” in all of their nursing courses, and complete a community service project. The co- advisors are Professors Mary Goldstein and Dr. Pamela Bradley.
To remind students that registration is now open for fall classes, please wear the “Register for classes today!” buttons handed out last semester. Buttons are also available at the Information Desk in A. Lincoln Commons. Please help us get the word out to students about the advantages of registering early! (More choice of classes, more options for payment, peace of mind!)
