    I painted this, in cold wax. It was a finalist in the 2008 Artist's Magazine competition for wildlife.

    I live near Portland, Oregon where this event takes place at Chapman School every September when the Vaux Swifts are migrating. There is a documentary on PBS about this phenomena called "On The Wing"....catch it if you can. You will love it!!

    I went to see the swifts for a school report. Took more than an hour to get all the birds in the chimney!

    Had the crowd gathered specially to observe this? I'm particularly impressed by the strength of the influx, similar but more coordinated that Chimney Swifts perhaps.
