Dead, one leg still clinging to Sycamore bark only about a foot off the ground, adjacent to Princess Point parking lot.

Annual nesting in my chimney. 1860 church. I repaired the chimney but left it open. Swift's don't seem to mind the remediation.

Rare sighting of a chimney swift roosting in a hollow tree.

A hundred or more flying over before roosting in the army barracks chimney. Seen during Birds Canada Swift Night Out

Likely a window strike. Swifts known to nest on the property.
