Hi Guy and Tweeters and Larry (the Swift guy),

I also believe there is a roost in that area. I lived
next door to Cavanaugh Ponds for a few years and
noticed the Vaux's gathering at night seemingly
getting ready to roost, but where? I went across the
river several times thinking they might be over that
way but couldn't figure out where they went.

Maybe some of us southenders can get together with
radio's and coordinate a roost hunt some evening, some
on each side of the Cedar River.

Looking around for some of my old posts I found an old
post about a swift roost in Auburn I will repost to
Tweeters too, in case someone wants to check out if it
still exists.
