Each September, Portland hosts the incredible migration of thousands of Vaux’s Swifts, who claim Chapman Elementary’s chimneys as their home for a few weeks. The nightly roosting is a marvelous sight! Come join others from Pearl as we spend an evening on the lawn at Chapman for Swift Watch.

Plan to bring low lawn chairs or a picnic blanket, and any snacks or non-alcoholic beverages. Well-behaved dogs on leash are welcome. Parking is a challenge so please plan on using public transportation if possible, or be prepared to walk a few blocks. Trimet buses #77 and #15 stop at NW Vaugh and 26th, a 5 min walk from the Chapman Elementary.

If you plan to join us, please sign up so we can send updates about where to meet!
