I’ve been noticing a lack of any Chimney Swifts at all this year. Barn Swallows
already have fuzzy babies. Then yesterday, while I was making another tomato
cage in the back yard, two made several passes overhead. Don’t know whether
I’ve been overlooking them or if they are just now back. Ours is now the only
remaining house in the neighborhood with a swift friendly chimney. There was
one more house about 3/4 mile up Watermelon Road with chimneys, but after the
90 something year old farmer who lived in it died, the new owner pushed it
down, dug a hole and buried it. Will there be any Chimney Swifts left when all
the houses with chimneys are gone?
