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.

An attempt at capturing Swifts flying directly towards me from my garden. Amazed that the 7D II managed to track these at all considering their speed!

I took over 200 pictures of flying Swifts and only managed to get a few sharp photos.
No fault with the camera, it was more the erratic flying as they twisted in the air whenever they saw an insect.

Last few photos now processed. They are very dark, so when you bring up the shadows they are quite noisy: Topaz Sharpen AI used on all to manage that.
Swift rescue. Amazed to find this little fella or lass in my daughters room. What an incredible bird to have in the hand. The wings are something else!
Taylor Swift tries to control her hair against the wind as she visits St. Paul’s Cathedral with a few friends in London on Thursday (May 7).
The 19-year-old country sensation tweeted, “Went to St. Paul’s Cathedral today. Four hundred gazillion stairs + being scolded three different times for having my camera out = fun.”
Taylor performed to a sold-out crowd last night at Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

Just one of the many decaying buildings at the old, abandoned Swift Meat Packing Plant ruins at the Stockyards in Fort Worth, Texas. A couple years before this shot was made, this particular building had been used as a production office during the time when the location was used as a set for a Guatamalan prison on the Fox TV show "Prison Break". Photo taken in February 2011.

During Swift Response 2023 exercise I was able to attend some practices at Bardenas Reales shooting range in Spain by USAF A10s. No real fire (not even BRRRRRRRT, because of the ammunition) but great flying demos, some of them for the media. A great day!

Photographing swifts is so much fun. It does after a few hours result in a lot of deleting as well as aching arms and shoulders. As the sun drops exposure is a lot easier but the window of opportunity is small. The red glow in this bird was about 10 mins before I had to give up for the day due to fading light.
