Emil Weitnauer was a Swiss school teacher and ornithologist, known for his pioneering studies on house swifts. He established that these birds roosted in flight at night using balloons and radar. Weitnauer's early career began as a primary teacher in 1924, and he later joined the University of Basel in 1977, collaborating with Bruno Bruderer. In addition to his ornithological pursuits, he contributed to bird conservation and education, served as an organist, and presided over a church association. He published a book on the house swift later in his life.
