In 1682, a pair of Chimney Swifts was found nesting in a chimney in a colonist\u2019s cabin in Maine. This event led to a striking, ongoing relationship between this bird species and humanity.\u00a0 In this talk, John Gerwin will discuss some of the natural and cultural histories of this migratory species. Compared to other North American birds we still do not know much about swifts. As such, these birds \u2014 distant relatives of hummingbirds \u2014 are equally fascinating for what we know, and what we don\u2019t know, about them.<\/p>\n
