Join us for our yearly Chimney Swift watch at the now closed Hallahan High School. During fall migration, Swifts roost together in large numbers. Area birder Judy Stepenaskie counted over 10,000 at this site two years ago.

This is a time-sensitive event. Make sure to arrive prior to sunset; otherwise, you will miss the show.

No binoculars? No worries! Birding backpacks with binoculars and field guides are on loan at the following local Philly libraries: Andorra, Cobbs Creek, Cecil B. Moore, Chestnut Hill, Eastwick, Falls of Schuylkill, Fishtown, Fox Chase, Greater Olney, Independence Library, Logan, Lovett Memorial, Northeast Regional, Oak Lane, Parkway Central, Richmond, South Philly, Torresdale, West Philadelphia Regional, and Widener. 

The event is free and open to everyone.
