So, maintaining habitat along the coastline is vital to supporting these species. One way that we can help birds is to advocate on their behalf and to support organizations that conserve habitat. But I am happy to at least have had a small taste of these beloved species as they make their way to breed for the year.

Birds that had been banded in Nashville, Tennessee. I always look forward to their return in the Spring, but swifts, like too many species of birds, aren’t doing so well. This is doubly concerning because this is a species that, for over 200 years, has tied its fate to our own.
