Sorry for the long delay in replying -- my Oregon vacation hasn't afforded
much email access. I'm glad other Tweeters knew the location of Chapman
School and that the Swifts were Vaux's, as I had neglected to acquire those
important details! (Are my green horns showing?) Since people are talking
about bird records, I should pass along that I was told that it is the
largest collection of Swifts . . . in North America? in the world? Can't
remember which. Anyway, it really was a marvelous sight, and I hope you will
be able to see it. If you do get down to Portland, stop by the Backyard Bird
Shop and thank my sister Nancy.
