Chimney Swifts returned to the chimney at our house on April 1 this year. Hopefully a pair will grace our recently built tower at Lake Elberta. The interpretive sign about Chimney Swifts will be installed sometime this fall; the sign company in High Springs, Florida has been swamped with work so we are patiently waiting. This project would not have taken place without the sweat equity of volunteers and our donors who supplied funds for construction materials and the building of the interpretive sign.

Special thanks to Ann Morrow for writing the text and working with the interpretive sign company, Jody Walthall for building the tower with assistance from Jim Carr and a few Native Nurseries employees, and to Brian Bryson for his lovely artwork on the sides of the tower. Now we wait for occupants!

Our appreciation to the following financial donors:

Aramark, Wolfgang and Winnie Adolf, Howard Kessler and Anne Van Meter
Kristen Summers, Amelia and Bill Everett, Carolyn Back (one of our original Lake Elberta interns!), Jane Fleitman
Ann J. Morrow, Jim and Kathleen Carr, Bruce and Sandra Bodjack, Brent McNeal, Polly Beason, Donna Legare
