Learn to count Chimney Swifts as they drop into a chimney in Hampden, Baltimore City. See directions to the site, below. This Hampden chimney is used each Spring and Fall, so we expect to be counting the real thing. Below, you will find directions to the site. (Also listed in the BBC program booklet, a Sept. 13, 2001 trip titled Chimney Swifts of Hampden.) Questions? Carol Schreter (410) 664-5151 CSchreter@aol.com Directions to Chimney Swifts in Hampden.
