Each September, thousands of migrating Vaux's Swifts use Chapman Elementary School's chimney as their nightly roost before continuing their journey to southern Central America and parts of Venezuela. For three weeks in September Audubon Society of Portland hosts Swift Watch, an amazing opportunity to see the swifts in their nightly aerial performance and learn more about special creatures. For more information on Swift Watch check back here in August. (From the Autubon Society of Portland: http://www.audubonportland.org/livingwithwildlife/brochures/VauxsSwifts )
