Description
I discovered this Chimney Swift nest as part of a bat survey in a City Park in Allentown PA in July of 2016. As the Lehigh Valley Audubon Society Habitat Committee Chairman, I have built several Chimney Swift towers throughout the park system, and they are my #1 species of conservation concern here. This nest is located in the stone chimney of a log cabin built in the 1720’s. Imagine how many little swifts may have fledged from this chimney in over 290 years!

Easily the best photo of a Chimney Swift nest I have seen in years (maybe ever). They’re just so hard to access. Cool!

We all need to be doing this! Praise to you for helping return those twittering flocks to the evening sky.
