Just returned from a picnic gathering of friends to watch the Vaux Swifts enter the chimney of Chapman School tonight
The Audobon Society of Portland claims that Chapman School houses the largest known roost of migrating swifts in the world.

Swifts are strange birds. In the east we have Chimney Swifts, which Jim Louis thinks are evil.
Yes, based on extensive research into the field of my personal feelings about chimney swifts, I must concur with Alex's remembrance of my thoughts on Swifts, that they are evil. Ask to elaborate Jim Louis nods graciously and adds, they just are.
Jimlouise don't you also believe that foxes are evil?
No, my feeling about foxes is not that strong. I do feel that they are a little creepy though. Foxes--creepy, Chimney Swifts--evil.
¡Respetas el zorro!
we have a lot of chimney swifts over our yard in the evenings. When I lived just a few blocks away, slightly downhill and slightly closer to the waterfront, it was all night hawks all the time. I think I like the night hawks better because you can hear them going peent in the dark. But I like the chimney swifts' little cigar shaped bodies and their manic zig and zagging.
