#ChimenySwifts fly to catch and eat insects, as insectivorous birds. A decrease in insect population impacts the Chimney Swift population. Modern chimneys reduce nesting sites too. Learning more about these unique birds is vital.

As a result of a dam at Hebb Lake, Atlantic White fish have had no access to the sea for over 100 years. Since 2012, a fishway was constructed in an attempt to aid fish migration. sarguide.speciesatrisk.ca/sites/sargui...
