Vaux’s Swift Watch Near Sunset, Friday, April 24
We are hoping to welcome the Vaux’s Swifts returning in April as they arrive with a warm wind from the south. The timing of the migration varies, so we hope they will show up when we gather to watch the birds ride in on the wind.
The swifts use the Agate Hall Chimney to roost for the night as they arrive to feed and recover during their migration from the south. Most will continue north and east to the mountains for the nesting season!
Come join us at Agate Hall north parking lot, on the UO campus at 17th Avenue and Agate Street. Reluctant youngsters may be enticed to join you with the promise of a visit to the adjacent playground and/or the offer of an ice cream treat from nearby Prince Puckler’s.

Program Meetings
Our monthly program meetings have something for everyone. During the last year we hosted programs by naturalists, wildlife artists and expert birders on a variety of topics from the birds of Hawaii, to ravens, wolves, and people, to the migration of red knots. Participating in a program meeting is a fun way to get involved with Coast to Cascades Bird Alliance. Meetings are free and open to all.
We are currently meeting on Zoom and in-person as conditions allow on the 4th Tuesday of each month between September and May at 7:00 p.m.
