Educational Cache Info:
Chimney Swifts spend their lives airborne, except when they are roosting or on the nest. At the end of summer they gather into large groups to migrate to South America. During migration, as many as 10,000 swifts may circle in a tornado-like flock at dusk and funnel into a roosting chimney to spend the night. All 4 of the chimneys at Blendon Woods have been built by Boy Scouts.
