Our First Saturday Bird Outings, created as part of our commitment to the Lane Audubon…

On Friday, September 6, and Friday, September 20, Lane County Audubon Society will host two Vaux’s Swift events outside Agate Hall at sunset. It is fascinating to observe the swifts as they swirl above and gather here before flying off to Central and South America for the winter. The location is Agate Hall, U of O, 1787 Agate St Eugene, OR.
Vaux’s Swifts use the Agate Hall chimney to roost for the night as they gather prior to migration. We may see thousands of birds funneling down into the chimney, but there is no guarantee! Look for the LCAS banner at the 17th and Agate parking lot north of Agate Hall. Stop by and enjoy this annual natural phenomenon. It’s free! Non-birders and children may be enticed to join you if you add a trip to Prince Puckler’s ice cream and/or the nearby playground to your evening’s agenda.
