Never noticed the "false eyes" on kestrels until I looked up at this guy and thought he was staring back at me

One of the few reports that we could find of Chimney Swifts roosting in trees (rather than manmade structures) was by John James Audubon himself. So yeah, the UNC roost is pretty amazing. nc.audubon.org/news/famous-...

This used to be normal, before the widespread clearing of eastern old growth forests centuries ago. But now is exceedingly rare.
Any bird people out there have experience with Chimney Swifts nesting/roosting in trees or other natural structures? Trying to get a feel for how rare this is. #birding #ornithology
