Have Chimney Swifts in Your Chimney? If you have Chimney Swifts nesting in your chimney in Houston, Texas, don’t worry! These amazing birds are only temporary guests. Chimney Swifts typically stay in their nesting sites until late summer to early fall, after which they will migrate to South America. These birds play a crucial role in controlling insect populations and are a protected species. If you find Chimney Swifts in your chimney, it's best to let them be. They'll be gone before you know it

Thousands of chimney swifts are flocking to Hallahan High School, much to the delight of Philly birders. During their long migration south in the fall, chimney swifts will descend on a building by the thousands. They are especially attracted to chimneys they can funnel into at dusk. You can catch them at Hallahan most nights at dusk through early or mid-October. 📹 by Frank Kummer / Staff | Philadelphia Inquirer
