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!
