The Whitewater Urban Forestry Commission is pleased to report that 2022 has been a good year for Purple Martins and Chimney Swifts. These synanthropic [organisms that live closely with humans and benefit from doing so] birds seem to appreciate the fact that Whitewater is a Bird City. To find out more, please visit the For The Birds page at The Arboretum At Starin Park.
