Learn about chimney swifts on The Willard Rooftop, 9 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, North Carolina, on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, from 5:45 to 8 p.m.
Swift Night Out starts in The Willard’s Horizon Ballroom at 5:45 p.m. for a program given by John Gerwin, Research Curator of Ornithology at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences and Wake Audubon board member.
Chimney swifts breed and roost in chimneys in eastern North America before migrating to a small section of the western Amazon region.
After the program, grab an avian-themed drink from The Willard bar, and then join members of Wake Audubon on the rooftop terrace to hopefully witness chimney swifts in action as they begin to swarm and swirl through the sky.
No guarantees that you’ll actually see the birds — nature is fickle — but the group saw many swarms from the rooftop in 2023 and 2024.
This event is free and open to all.
