PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Don’t forget to look up next month. You could miss the Vaux’s Swifts as they pass through Portland during their annual migration.
The birds first arrive in Oregon in April. Later in the fall, large flocks fly back to Central America and Venezuela. However, the species “roosts” in chimneys overnight during their journey — which brings crowds of people to Chapman Elementary for Swift Watch every year.
