415 W. Washington

Stopped. Watched. icon

Hundreds of chimney swifts circling the chimney of the old county road commission building on 415 W. Washington, feeding on insects and then diving into the chimney to roost at sunset. They gather at the same time each evening, just around the last half hour of sunset, chirping and flying acrobatically, then nose-diving into the chimney for the evening.

    We catch a glimpse of these circling chimney swifts at the other end of the day–through the Y windows overlooking West Washington Street, early in the morning, just as the sun is beginning to be visible.
