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.
