We aren’t the only ones who like Chimney Swifts. In past years when Merlins nested in my neighborhood, Chimney Swift was by far the #1 prey item.

Subject: Re: [Maine-birds] swift rescue article in Bangor Daily News
I have swifts every summer over my house in Bangor. I will be very sad if they stop coming. There are still people out there who believe they're seeing bats.
I thought that was a fine article in the BDN.

A friend of mine, Carole Whelan, was instrumental in doing the rescue of two nestling swifts that she took to Avian Haven in Freedom. Diane Winn is very experienced at raising these birds from a young age, not an easy job at all since they are extremely fragile from many aspects in the rehab environment. You can read about this here:
and thanks to Carole and to Diane and Marc, these birds will have a chance to live their truly aerial life!
Here in Rockport, I haven't seen swifts for a number of years.
