This presentation is an overview of Chimney Swifts from the perspective of a young man who, as a child, birded with the sneaker-wearing lady members of the Lyman Langdon Audubon Society (the prior name of the North Shore Audubon Society).  John Connors now lives in North Carolina where he works to create Chimney Swift habitats. 
Chimney Swifts
This enigmatic little bird spends almost its entire life airborne. When it lands, it can’t perch—it clings to vertical walls inside
chimneys or in hollow trees or caves. This species has suffered sharp declines as chimneys fall into disuse across the continent.
