Spring will bring chimney swifts to Viroqua, and with them will come the people who love to watch them and learn their habits here in town. Where do they nest? (only a single nest in a chimney, so only 2, maybe as many as 5 birds, will be observed there) and where do they roost in large numbers? Do they move from chimney to chimney a lot? If you see a group of people watching a chimney do join them if you can. Thanks to David Krier for his essay. I'll also delve a little into Cornell's Birds of the World and into early 1900's accounts from Bent's Life Histories of N.A. Birds to see what other people have had to say over the years.
