This Lane County Audubon Society presentation is about the thousands of little long-distance fliers who visit a local chimney each spring and fall. Local experts Dick Lamster and Maeve Sowles will discuss (and show pictures of) the fascinating life of the Vaux’s Swifts and the wonderful experience they provide to birdwatchers (new and old) who watch them roost in the Agate Hall Chimney at the University of Oregon campus in Eugene.

This phenomenon is a real-time nature extravaganza right here in Eugene! Vaux’s Swifts’ numbers can reach as high as 15,000 birds using the chimney for a night. They'll be flying through in April, so this is the perfect time to come learn more about their journey.
