I have an old 80 foot chimney from a coal furnace. I maintain it simple for the annual chimney swifts. They come in mid April and leave in August. Apparently only 2 raise a family in it but it ends up with 100s at its peak occupancy. It’s getting re-pointed this year and I will have 2 hi-def cameras installed at the top to capture the activity. Might end up being my first AI project.

- js2 5mo agoChimney swift vs common swift. The two species adapted to habitat loss and urbanization differently.
- detourdog 5mo agoAnother big difference appears to be they live in different parts of the world. Chimney Swifts migrate between North and South America and the common Swift migrates between Europe/Asia and Africa. https://www.earthofbirds.com/common-swift-vs-chimney-swift/ https://www.earthofbirds.com/common-swift-vs-chimney-swift/
