The Ridgewood Swifts
The Fyke Nature Association, together with Bergen County Audubon Society, has presented George Washington Middle School in Ridgwood
with a certificate recognizing the school's efforts to preserve a roosting site for migrating Chimney Swifts in a large chimney on the school property.
For several years, Fyke members have been enjoying the annual spectacle of swifts returning to the roost on Fall evenings.

Don Torino has written an informative column on the Ridgewood Swifts, which can be accessed
