Learn about Vaux's swifts as the birds circle overhead getting re ady to drop into their nighttime roost in the Boys and Girls Club chimney.

\n

"Vaux's swifts historically roosted and nested in hollow out old- growth trees. These snags have eventually fallen to logging\, firewood har vesting\, wildfires\, disease\, high winds and other causes. The brick-lin ed chimneys with bits of overflowing mortar on the inside provide an accep table alternative roost which mimics the old trees. Though birds probably continue to roost in snags in the forest\, the urban chimneys are a conven ient location for swift watchers to view and count the birds\," (Damian Fa gan\, \;The Source).

Led by Damian Fagan\, a former National Park Service ranger and field biologist. He has led birdin g trips for COCC's Continuing Education program and is known to break out in spontaneous owl hooting!
