Bon Voyage to Vaux’s Swifts

This year CCBA/LCAS will host three Bon Voyage to Vaux’s Swift events outside Agate Hall on UO campus at sunset, on Fridays: September 4, 11, and 25. Vaux’s Swifts use the Agate Hall chimney to roost for the night during their migration.

It is fascinating to observe the swifts as they swirl above and gather before flying off to Central and South America for the winter. We may see thousands of birds funneling down into the chimney, but on any given evening there is no guarantee!

Look for the CCBA/LCAS banner at the 17th and Agate parking lot north of Agate Hall. Stop by and enjoy this annual natural phenomenon. It’s free! Non-birders and children may be enticed to join you if you add a trip to Prince Puckler’s ice cream and/or the nearby playground to your evening’s agenda.
