Chimney swifts and their habitats are described, as well as the need for places for them to hibernate. Their old homes of chimneys are becoming more difficult to find, and thus brick towers are now being built to house chimney swifts.

Abstract:

There are three types of yucca plants in the state--Adam's needle, Spanish dagger, and Spanish bayonet. All three are found on sand dunes and beaches, and as their name indicates, they are sharp to the touch. The leaves are tough because they live in an environment of hot sun, high temperatures, and salty breezes.
