They are recognized spectacular, chirping flocks moving through the sky in synchrony. chimney swift can be seen most vividly at the colonies of hundreds. Or even thousands, of individuals from tornado like funnels as they descend into the chimney. Unfortunately, the size of the colonies we see is misleading. Though the numbers may seem remarkable, chimney population have been declining sharply since the 1970s due primarily to habitat loss. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3); margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; caret-color: rgb(44, 62, 80); color: rgb(44, 62, 80); font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.38;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Unlikely most birds, chimney swift cannot perch or stand upright, so they require long, hollow spaces that are provide save roosting and nesting sites . Historically, chimney swift preferred hollow trees. However, Espeon pioneers territory and replaced forest with towns, the species was forced to adapt by using other structures, such as US, the large-scale shift two alternate heat sources, chimney capping, and the use of fabricated chimneys has drasting their ability to nest during migration. Newer, prefabricated chimneys are often aligned with metal flues that make it possible for the addition, logging and deforestation may make finding suitable overwintering habitat more challenging than ever. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3); margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; caret-color: rgb(44, 62, 80); color: rgb(44, 62, 80); font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.38;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In an effort of sustain the remaining population, conservation groups have designed supplemental housing structure “ Chimney Towers,” this towers are designed specially to provide a roosting sites 4 Chimney Swifts. Chimney swift almost entirely on man-made structure like these to survive. However, because this species is remarkable adaptive minimal conservation efforts like keeping traditional masonry chimneys uncapped during the summer months can improve their changes to survival. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3); margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; caret-color: rgb(44, 62, 80); color: rgb(44, 62, 80); font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.38;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">1.
