Friends of Sherman Swift Tower seek volunteers

Submitted by admin on Wed, 02/22/2023 - 10:15

The chimney swift's nest is a half-saucer of loosely woven twigs stuck together and cemented to the chimney wall with the bird's glue-like saliva. Both parents contribute to the nest, breaking off small twigs with their feet while flying through branches, returning to the nest with the twigs in their bills. (Photo submitted)
