| For years, before I had my stoep enclosed with a roof, swallows, swifts and European starlings nested under the eaves. |
| Like other birds that spend most of their lives in the air, chimney swifts have high-speed, energy-efficient wings. |
| Every evening, with patience, you will glimpse chimney swifts dropping into and launching out of one of our chimneys. |
| Basically nondescript, it is easy to understand why chimney swifts are likened to flying cigars. |
| Alpine swifts circled rapidly overhead while Blue couas and Cuckoo rollers were seen in the trees. |
| The hobby is one of the very few birds of prey capable of outflying swifts, perhaps at a speed approaching 100 mph. |
