Chimney

The swifts have pretty much finished migrating through.  But here is a chimney built especially for them.  Every year birders come to watch the birds swirl into the chimney.

 

Swift chimney

This chimney was built purposely for chimney swifts who migrate through Raleigh in the fall.  The Audubon society teamed up with the NC Museum of Natural Science to build the tower at the Prairie Ridge Ecostation. Read about it here.

Also on the property, viewing platforms for watching water birds in the pond.  The pond was very green this time of year.
