Chimney Swifts are back in town and you could catch their spectacular show at a chimney near you! The small, fast-flying birds are known for the tornado-like dance they perform in the sky.   

Brenna Marsicek is the Director of Outreach with the Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance. She says that at dusk, the birds will dive headfirst into a chimney to roost — sometimes by the thousands. Marsicek joins Lake Effect’s Xcaret Nuñez for this month’s Chirp Chat to learn more about swifts and what’s being done to protect them.
