My post yesterday neglected the variety of trails at Sweet Run State Park. One of my birding friends asked about the birding opportunities there, and indeed there is a birding trail.
The sign is actually next to a chimney-style tower that was built for chimney
swifts. Another sign tells about chimney swifts, which come here in the spring
to nest. I did not see any, but they may have already migrated southward.
I believe these are
Audubon style towers, and
there are a number of them in Pennsylvania with a similar sign.
I heard birds in the nearby trees, but only saw one in the sky, which may have
been a vulture.

Thanks for this.I obtained the plans for those Chimney Swift Towers from the people in Texas (see, some good things do originate in Texas) and I am in discussion with a landowner to build one here.
ReplyDelete...Chimney Swift Towers are new for me.
ReplyDeleteSimple idea but invaluable to the Swift community
