Chimney Swift Towers 

5 nesting chambers for Chimney Swifts are now in place in Area 2 at Lums Pond State Park. The simulation chimneys are 12’ tall with the inner chamber measuring 14 1/2” square. The swifts enter through the open top and build nests on one of the sides. One tower accomodates one Chimney Swift nest, so a maximum of 5 nests will be built at the location, with each nest having 3 to 5 eggs.

Chimney Swifts migrate to South America for the winter, and return to this region in mid-spring, and begin nest building in mid-June.
