You can see the story of what is happening here on the other shots in this series. In this shot you can see the rows of people who show up to watch the show. There were probably close to 200 people here this night.

In contrast to today, yesterday's dusk moon was pale but clear in the evening sky. However, in this shot, a passing swift crept into the right side of the picture!

This is my lifer Vaux's Swift. For whatever reason, I could never pick up on these birds. Finally saw them in the pumphouse field flying around with some Violet-green Swallows. Photographed at Andrew Molera State Park at the mouth of the Big Sur River.

Swifts and people to live under same roof
Swifts are declining nationally and Camden Council has installed nest boxes high up on various housing blocks to help to address the decline.
One of the reasons for the decline is modern construction practices which render once-accessible nesting sites under roof eaves inaccessible.
The installation of swift nesting boxes in high-rise buildings is seen as one way to counter-act this problem, providing suitable nesting sites for this fascinating bird.
Amazingly swifts spend most of their time in the air even sleeping and mating in mid-air! Swifts arrive from Africa in and regularly use buildings in the UK to breed. They nest in high man-made structures under tiles, in the eaves and in lofts.
The housing sustainability and nature conservation teams worked in partnership to install swift boxes on non-residential walls. Swift bricks were cemented into the wall to provide long-lasting nest sites. If successful - the nest boxes will only be used for a few months (May to August) to raise broods of chicks. As the chicks do make a slight chirping noise, the stairwell walls were used to eliminate any chirping disturbance that could occur on dwelling walls.
There will be no cost to residents for this installation and the boxes do not require regular cleaning as the adults also eat most of the droppings their chicks produce!
These nest boxes contribute towards targets in Camden’s latest Biodiversity Action Plan to provide a variety of nesting habitat throughout the borough.

Circling swifts caught by the golden light of the setting sun.
This also seemed to give enough contrast for the AF to actually see and lock onto them; when they were just silhouettes against the sky, the lens would AF to infinity and stay there with the shutter locked...

This shows the swifts at Chapman Elementary School, Portland, Oregon, starting to gather at dusk above the school chimney. Later, as it begins to get more dark outside, the birds form into a swirling cyclone [not in this video] and enter the chimney for the night.

Heath and safety wouldn't allow these nowadays, it's a shame nowadays we personalise with furry dice, (not me).
