The Swifts!






We had a super fun night watching the Swifts! Going to view the swifts pile into the chimney at Chapman Elementary is bit of Portland tradition. For about a month in September there are over 10 thousand Vaux's swifts that sleep in the chimney so around sunset they all circle above then funnel in for the night. There were LOTS of other kids there and they were having lots of fun sliding down the hill on cardboard... can't wait until I'm big enough to do that!!! The birds flew super fast around in circles and somehow ALL fit in chimney!! I liked pointing them out to everyone and saying "birds". I'm so smart!! :)
