Flight of the Chimney Swifts

Saturday, August 24 from 7:45 – 8:45 p.m.

Come witness the beauty of the Flight of the Chimney Swifts

Enjoy delicious ice cream treats provided by the Conservancy and visit with other bird enthusiasts as we scan the evening skies.  Witness the migrating Chimney Swifts swarm in for their evening rest as they make their way south.  Afterwards, if you enjoyed our event, feel free to drop a few dollars in the jar for the Chimney Swift Tower Fund.  This initiative of the Conservancy was started so we can build the necessary towers, providing shelter for the declining Swift population.

Don't forget to check out our prototype Chimney Swift Tower between the bike path and the Labyrinth at the Brown Family Environmental Center!
