Chimney Swift

ABA 1

(Chaetura pelagica)

Swifts are unusual in that their feet do not permit them to perch. They therefore cling to vertical surfaces such as cliffs and the inside of chimneys, where they are difficult to observe. Most often they are seen in flight. Chimney Swift is the only one of the four North American swifts occurring east of the Mississippi.
