Jersey Cape NATURALLY

For several years now I’ve maintained a “wish list” of natural phenomena I’d like to

see. High on th list is the desire to see a whale

“breach.” Also on the list was a chance to observe chimney swifts descending en masse into a chimney for the night. Well, the other day I got one of my wishes right here in Cape May Court House. It was the swifts — not the whale.

Since I’ve lived in Cape

May, I have frequently seen

chimney swifts at dusk in

flight over my house. Little

dark gray birds, they look like w. stubby cigars with wings fly- i— 1 T - 1 —j—, --,—. ing in eircles and chattering ^—‘'7'” madly as they catch insects. " rhs* These curious little birds are especially designed for nesting on vertical surfaces, formerly in caves and hollow trees but

since the arrival of man in air shafts, barns, attics, ofd wells and, of course, chimneys. Their feet are designed for gripping vertical surfaces and their stiff tails have bristles which they use as props. Their nests are half-round saucerlike platforms of

twigs attached to the chimney wall by the birds’ glutinous

saliva.

Swifts nest in groups. As darkness approaches they circle around and around their home chimney then, in an instant, fun-

nel down and are gone from view.
