Unprecedented Chimney Swift Roost, UNC’s Famed Davie Poplar Makes History
Posted Oct 19, 2024
A remarkable occurrence is taking place on campus right now, at one of UNC’s most recognizable and beloved landmarks. This fall – and apparently for the last couple years – thousands of birds have gathered at the Davie Poplar as part of their migration. The birds are chimney swifts, so named because they typically roost in chimneys.
