My Column: State Line Hawk Watch
A view of State Line Lookout and the Hudson River beyond in Alpine. By Jim WrightSpecial to The Record |…
The first Chimney Swift tower was constructed by the Avian wildlife Center and
installed in May of 2009. The photo is courtesy of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service.
My latest birding column for The Record is on the Chimney Swift roost in Ridgewood and the problems that chimney swifts are having due to a loss of nesting sites.
One solution– nesting towers like the one above.
My column is on Page 4 of the Better Living section in the Thursday Record.

A great Chimney Swift link is here.
Very interesting. I never knew they couldn’t perch. Wow.
