Chimney Swifts 1

Vaux's Swifts at Chapman Elementary School, Portland, Oregon

Not sure what the estimated count was for this evening. They said between 10,000 and 15,000 the other night. I have read that there can be as many as 35,000 birds go into this chimney at one time.

It sure was fun to watch in person.
