Styling Librarian Oregon Occurrences Year 1 Week 12 Swifts

Little black dots- I caught when they were flying back into the chimney

A little glance at another Oregon thing- Vaux’s Swift watching. Really enjoyed this as a meet up with other people. Kids slid down the hill on cardboard, huge groups all clustered around to watch the swifts, and nice audubon society people who allowed my kiddo to look through their telescope… many times.

Sadly, the swift population is in a huge decline… possibly due to loss of habitat/nesting areas on their migratory route, it has been in decline for years. We didn’t see many swifts during our evening watch, but what we did see was wonderful…
Enjoying our days here…

Took myself to a sushi restaurant

Yummy treats. I Love Sushi in Beaverton.

Learned about a Portland Oregon tradition- swift watching!

Went to see the swifts….

The swifts stay in this chimney.

Not much sighting.

Good chilling out time while we waited…

Beautiful clouds

They cling to the inside with their claws.

Porta-potties are available… that hill is where most wait…

They even have a family run!

Flying… not too much

Can you see any?

Love those noodles…

Really enjoyed reading Waiting by Kevin Henkes…
