[Birdtalk] Bird Behavior - No Sighting!

[Pomera Fronce]

Julie and I attended the Arcata Godwit Festival in April and witnessed 8-10 Vaux Swifts disappear into a chimney at dusk.  It was thrilling to watch!  Check out this posting from Oregon Birders on Line.  Can you imagine!

Tonight there were approximately 3000 VAUX SWIFT at the Chapman School chimney in NW Portland.  They started entering at 8:34PM and the last one went in at 8:44PM.  About 100 of them continued to circle for a minute or two before flying off to parts unknown.
