Chimney swifts spend most of their lives in flight.

These migratory birds return to North Carolina each year from April to August, nesting and roosting in chimneys and other vertical structures. They can eat thousands of mosquitoes, flies, and gnats each day, making them natural pest control.

But their populations are declining.

Historically, chimney swifts nested in hollow, old-growth trees. As those disappeared, they adapted to chimneys. Now, modern building practices like chimney caps and gas heating are limiting those spaces too.

That’s where you come in. 👇

NC Wildlife Federation and NC Audubon are mapping where chimney swifts are nesting across the state to better understand their needs and create new habitat, like chimney swift towers.

If you see birds flying in and out of a chimney, silo, or similar structure, they may be chimney swifts.

Submit your sightings and help protect this species in decline.

On Thursday, April 23, members of Triad Wild!, employees of Greensboro Parks and Recreation, and nine volunteers from the VF Corporation in Greensboro gathered at Woven Works for a slightly belated Earth Day event. The group planted more than 100 native flowering plants to enhance the existing pollinator gardens at Woven Works. The group worked diligently and enthusiastically for several hours digging holes and weeding out non-native plants, despite the rock-hard soil and very warm temperatures. The work day also gave us the chance to check on native plants that we had previously planted.

Stop by Woven Works Park, Monday, May 4, 5:30-6:30 PM for our program "Planting a Pollinator Garden" We will have native plant door prizes!
