Conservation Corps Minnesota needs materials to support chimney swift populations in Saint Paul. The small native birds, often mistaken for bats, are swift, agile and look like “flying cigars.” While they traditionally nest in hollow trees, urban birds have been nesting in masonry chimneys. But as old chimneys are removed or capped, chimney swifts’ habitat is depleting.
