Behavior
Like all swifts, the Chimney Swift is incapable of perching; instead, it clings to vertical surfaces.
The full population migrates seasonally in large flocks, but in mild winters some may overwinter in Florida. This species has occurred as a very rare vagrant to western Europe, Great Britain or Pribilof Island, Alaska.

Famous quotes containing the word behavior:
“I don’t see much future for the Americans.... Everything about the behavior of American society reveals that it’s half Judaized, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together?”
—Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)
“Understanding child development takes the emphasis away from the child’s character—looking at the child as good or bad. The emphasis is put on behavior as communication. Discipline is thus seen as problem-solving. The child is helped to learn a more acceptable manner of communication.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“Children can’t make their own rules and no child is happy without them. The great need of the young is for authority that protects them against the consequences of their own primitive passions and their lack of experience, that provides with guides for everyday behavior and that builds some solid ground they can stand on for the future.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
