At summer's end, hundreds of chimney swifts use the brick chimney at Our Lady of Peace Parish for their nightly roost as they prepare for migration. "A Swift Night Out" is a continent-wide effort to raise awareness about chimney swifts and their need for roosting habitat. Bring a lawn chair and binoculars to observe and count swifts as they gather at communal roosts before fall migration to South America.
Note: Swifts have been known to change their preference for chimneys, so please check back for location changes.
