Vaux's Swifts are starting to roost in the Riverside Community Church chimney in Rainier. See a live view into the chimney here (https://vauxhappeningor.click2stream.com/), best view the camera around sunset or sunrise.
Folks wishing to check out this phenomenon for themselves will have the best chance from half an hour before sunset until half an hour after sunset. The southward migration of the swifts starts at the end of August, affording us more opportunities to view thousands of them entering the chimney. You can watch them from the corner of W D St and W 3rd St on the north side of Riverside Community Church.
Check it out and say hi to Carolyn, Juni and Terri.
