A favorite event returns to The Durham. Join us on the Roof Monday, September 16, from 6:30-8pm for a front-row view as large swarms of chimney swifts begin to gather for their annual trip to South America and swarm, dive and roost at sunset into downtown chimneys. New Hope Bird Alliance will be on hand with scopes, binoculars, and information about how to protect these endangered birds and their habitats.
6:30pm: We should be able to see swifts flying, feeding, and calling.
7:20pm: At sunset, the swifts move en masse, swarming around chimneys to roost.
Free and family-friendly!
A portion of all food and beverage sales from this event will be donated to support New Hope Bird Alliance. Enjoy the Roof’s new kitchen featuring larger plates and more dishes that can be shared amongst friends, like globally inspired tacos, fresh seafood from our coast, big salads, and house-made desserts for a good cause!
