Chimney swifts can easily adapt roosting behaviors to any structure made of the proper material C. Chimney swifts are nocturnal birds whose large numbers are evident in the size of their colonies D. Moving in large chipping flocks is a natural protection against predators Chimney swifts are small, slender birds that have become a symbol of summer for many. They usually appear in North America during warm, summer months as they make their way to more tropical sites for the winter. They are recognized most often as spectacular, chirping flocks moving through the sky in synchrony. Chimney swifts can be seen most vividly at dusk when large colonies of hundreds, or even thousands of individuals form tornado-like funnels as they descend into the chimneys. Unfortunately, the size of the colonies we see is misleading. Though the numbers may seem remarkable, chimney swift populations have been declining sharply since the 1970's due primarily to habitat loss. Unlike most birds, chimney swifts cannot perch or stand upright, so they require long, hollow spaces that are enclosed to provide safe roosting and nesting sites. Historically, chimney swifts preferred hollow trees. However, as pioneers colonized territory and replaced forests with towns, the species was forced to adapt by using other structures, such as chimneys. In the US, a large-scale shift to alternate heat sources, chimney- capping and the use of fabricated chimneys has drastically impacted their ability to nest during migration. Traditionally, chimneys were lined with clay, which the swifts were able to cling to and make their nests. Newer, prefabricated chimneys are often lined with metal flues Traditionally, chimneys were lined with clay, which the swifts were able to cling to and make their nests. Newer, prefabricated chimneys are often lined with metal flues that make it impossible for them to use. In addition, logging and deforestation may make finding suitable overwintering habitat more challenging than ever. In an effort to sustain the remaining population, conservation groups have designed supplemental housing structures, called "Chimney towers." These towers are designed specifically to provide roosting sites for chimney swifts. Chimney swifts now rely almost entirely on man-made structures like these to survive. However, because this species is remarkably adaptable, even minimal conservation efforts like keeping traditional masonry chimneys uncapped during the summer months can drastically improve their chance of survival.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust; sails
cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards,
unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore
worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining.
Then we put up our masts, hauled sail, and rested,
letting the steersmen and the breeze take over.

Which sentence in this excerpt from "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine proposes that the American colonies should be neutral in their
relationships with foreign nations?

I challenge the warmest advocate for reconciliation, to shew, a single advantage that this continent can reap, by being connected with Great
Britain. I repeat the challenge, not a single advantage is derived. Our corn will fetch its price in any market in Europe, and our imported goods
must be paid for, buy them where we will.
But the injuries and disadvantages we sustain by that connection, are without number; and our duty to mankind at large, as well as to ourselves,
instruct us to renounce the alliance: Because, any submission to or dependence on Great Britain, tends directly to involve this continent in
European wars and quarrels; and sets us at variance with nations, who would otherwise seek our friendship, and against whom, we have neither
anger nor complaint. As Europe is our market for trade, we ought to form no partial connection with any part of it. It is the true interest of
America to steer clear of European contentions, which she never can do, while by her dependence on Britain, she is made the make-weight in
the scale of British politics.
Europe is too thickly planted with kingdoms to be long at peace, and whenever a war breaks out between England and any foreign power, the
trade of America goes to ruin, BECAUSE OF HER CONNECTION WITH ENGLAND. The next war may not turn out like the last, and should it not
the advocates for reconciliation now, will be wishing for separation then, because, neutrality in that case, would be a safer convoy than a man of
war. Every thing that is right or natural pleads for separation. The blood of the slain, the weeping voice of nature cries, 'TIS TIME TO PART. Even
the distance at which the Almighty hath placed England and America, is a strong and natural proof, that the authority of the one, over the other,
was never the design of Heaven. The time likewise at which the continent was discovered, adds weight to the argument and the manner in
which it was peopled increases the force of it. The reformation was preceded by the discovery of America, as if the Almighty graciously meant to
open a sanctuary to the Persecuted in future years, when home should afford neither friendship nor safety.
