“Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all.”

- Emily Dickenson


 

Great Nature Books on Chimney Swifts
At least three Chimney Swift Towers have been set up in Loudoun county (Dominion High School, Rust Nature Sanctuary and the Blue Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship). Each year in August and September, Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy participates in A Swift Night Out to count chimney swifts as they flock and begin their migration to Peru and to identify the major roosting locations where hundreds of swifts join up.

A website run by Driftwood Wildlife Association. Check out the menu to the left for info on chimney swifts, a fantastic chimney swift web cam, and plans for building a nesting tower (if you didn’t want then to use your chimney)
