Speaking of Swifts, here is an opportunity to see the swifts at the
Baltimore Conservatory---

 

 

 Another Chimney Swift Watch at the Conservatory in Druid Hill Park

With the Baltimore Bird Club SwiftWatch Team.

Join us there! At dusk!

 

Monday, Sept. 25, 2006 at 6:45 - 7:30 PM.

Rain date Tuesday, September 26, 6:45 - 7:30 PM. 

 

(We go a bit earlier if it is cloudy or gray, as the swifts enter the roost
earlier.)

 

A special event, planned for a Baltimore Sun Outdoors writer and
photographer. 

On Sept. 9, we counted 2,210 birds entering the chimney.

On Sept. 17, we counted 4,680 birds going into the Conservatory chimney at
dusk.

 

The Conservatory is located at Auchentoroly Terrace and Gwynns Falls Pkwy.

From I-83 exit at 28th St. Follow sign "Druid Park Lake Drive." (Go along
edge of the Park.)

Turn Right at 5th traffic light, Gwynns Falls Pkwy. See the Conservatory on
your right.

An historic Victorian, glass greenhouse.
