Across the flyway, cigar-shaped swifts cover the sky in aerial maneuvers, drawn from afar by instinctual desires.

Their remote wish for new horizons is fledged, morphed, and curtailed as the promise of summer slides into reality. The doldrums of everyday neon illuminate the labor that drives the American dream.

Migrating from the Amazon basin across northern Illinois, a flock of chimney swifts flutter without perching, using a natural form of radar to navigate. The pulse of infrasound from deep ocean waves vibrates the ground and emanates up, guiding the birds amid disrupted air.
