Swift Night Out at Wakulla Springs

  • Wakulla Springs Lodge 465 Wakulla Springs Road Crawfordville, FL, 32327 United States (map)

During Swift Night out people all over the country stand beneath chimneys to watch and count chimney swifts entering their roost. The Lodge at Wakulla Springs has a large flock that roosts in one of the chimneys. Come witness the "flying cigar" shaped birds perform their swirling ariel dance prior to their descent into the chimney. Be part of a nationwide program to estimate their numbers. Enjoy this unusual biologist and environmental scientist led program to see first-hand one of nature's amazing spectacles. Meet in the Lodge courtyard and bring your own chairs. Watch a YouTube video of a previous Swift Night Out event.

Free with Park Admission, $6/vehicle

Meet at the Lodge Entrance
