Horned Grebe at the Celery Farm
My first ever here. And the spring arrivals are arriving! The grebe was No. 186 on my Celery Farm life…
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.
The link is here.
A great Chimney Swift link is here.
Very interesting. I never knew they couldn’t perch. Wow.
