A Murmuration of Swifts

This is amazingly beautiful.

We are lucky here in Portland to have our own Swift event for 3 weeks in September. At dusk, our swifts start to swarm a chimney stack at Chapman Elementary. For 15-20 minutes the swifts make their way into the chimney to sleep for the night. It is a most unusual and fascinating event to witness.
