Swifts at sunset
Every September, the Vaux's Swifts migrate through Portland and use a chimney at a local elementary school to roost. Up to 10,000 birds gather at sunset and put on an amazing show as they swoop in to the chimney. Hundreds of people come every night to hang out, picnic and watch the show. Occasionally a hawk comes by and provides a little added excitement by trying to get dinner.
