Vaux’s Swifts at Agate Hall Chimney in September

The gathering was a wonderful success! At least 75 observers were at Agate Hall, spread out in the parking lot. The swifts began arriving before sunset and just kept coming, giving us a great show of their wonderful aerial display. Three volunteers counted the birds (we averaged the 3 counts) as they entered the chimney with a final total of 8367 Vaux’s Swifts! It was a beautiful evening and amazing to watch the swifts as they flew in to roost safely for the night.

We wish them well on their fall migration
