One of the great spectacles of bird migration is coming to a chimney near you this month! 

Join one of our statewide Audubon chapters for “Swift Night Out,” a series of evening events where bird lovers of all ages can watch the incredible phenomenon of Chimney Swifts roosting. 

During migration, Chimney Swifts roost in—you guessed it—chimneys, coming together in tornado-like waves. Experience the magic with family, friends, and our chapter members this September.
