Save the date: the 3rd annual Swifts Night Out will be on Saturday, Sept. 10th!
We’ll have a great program – including information booths, food, lecture – and the grand finale of the swifts aerial ballet as they come into the chimney to rest!
More details soon – but plan to be there for the evening (4pm to 8pm) Sat., Sept. 10th!
Just to warm everybody up for the spring migration – here’s a clip from the fall of a Coopers Hawk missing out on breakfast (this time).
OK OK, it’s been a long time since our last post, but we were TIRED and in addition busy with some other projects.
BUT – just wanted to alert everybody that spring is on the way, which means the Swifts will be on their way soon! Stay tuned!
All fall we have been doing weekly “Big Saturday” counts along the flyway (you can see our results here).
We now have just two CA sites fighting it out for the who has the “Most Swifts in October” award.
Up in the North Bay, Rusty’s Stacks were given an official Saturday Oct 9th observation by none other than Rusty who clicked off 6,320 Voxies.
We thought that would be it, but now, this just in from Jeff’s Los Angeles apartments. Jeff came up with…………..drum roll………….wait for it………………6,240 Voxies!
Hows that for excitement swift fans?
Check out today’s article in the Oregonian (10/8/10) about the Voxys and our team of 200 volunteers from BC to California monitoring their migration: Volunteers watch over Vaux’s swifts…
