Present among the HFN group were Regina Maass, and Ingrid & Burkhard Plache. I told everyone about the oodles of information to be had by Googling ....chimneyswifts.org ...., where you will find the Web-site of the Driftwood Wildlife Association in Austin, Texas, including all sorts of info' and a book on how to build artificial towers for the nesting and/or roosting of chimney swifts! etc. etc. I strongly encourage surfing their site and considering community projects involving such towers.
