Watching Chimney Swifts come in to roost is quite the spectacle! They spend a lot of time swirling around in the air before dropping into their roost site. Bring a chair and binoculars and join us in the parking lot of the Junge Ice Rink & Pavilion (3002 Cairnwood Dr, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009) to watch swifts descend into a nearby chimney for the night.
