Chimney Swifts, Unraveling the Mystery and Magic
Bats? Birds? Minions of the Underworld? If you have found strange
looking birds in your fireplace or heard a deafening cacophony of
sounds from inside it, congratulations! You likely have Chimney
Swifts! Once numerous, these birds have experienced sharp declines
in their range across the Eastern U.S. due to habitat loss during the last
century. Join us as we unravel the mystery behind these unique and
fascinating birds while giving you behind the scenes footage of our
work with them through our Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic. As a
native of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Bethany developed an interest
in observing wildlife and spending time outdoors at a young age.
Bethany is thrilled to be the Naturalist of the Sharon Audubon Center
team and loves exploring New England’s beautiful landscapes!
