Natasha is enjoying the flowers the neighbor gave her... ;)

Looks like the beginning of fall is just about here… the Vaux’s Swifts are back at Frank Wagner Elementary School in Monroe, Washington. I don't think I have ever noticed them this early... but maybe it is just me...



The nest is supposed to be the second largest nest in the nation.



Here is a video of the swifts leaving the chimney in the morning. At dusk they return.


Monroe Swift Night Out will be September 11, 2010 4 p.m. to Dusk complete with a spaghetti feed. For more information http://monroeswifts.org/swift-night-out-2010/
I noticed a camera added to the top of the chimney, it would be neat if it was on the web...
