We’re excited to broadcast the vaux’s swifts return to the Courtenay Museum’s brick chimney this year. With help from Mayor Bob Wells, City of Courtenay staff and ACS Computer Solutions, the museum has placed not one but two live cameras on the roof to view the swift traffic inside and outside the chimney.
We want to extend a big thank you to the nearly-600 attendees who came to the museum’s Spring Fling and Easter Things event on March 23rd. And a huge thank you to Mr. Day and his crew, the Barnyard Party Animals family, and Amy from Magical Faces for making the event such a success.
