I hope this information hasn't already been posted. On Wednesday, January
7, OPB will be broadcasting Dan Viens' documentary film about "Portland's
favorite flock of birds, the Chapman Swifts, a flock of Vaux Swifts that has
taken up residence in the chimney of Chapman Elementary School in Northwest
Portland during the month of September. Each night during the Swifts'
residency, thousands of them fill the sky above the school. Then, just
before sunset, the birds form a dramatic vortex and dive into the chimney in
an amazing aerial display."

Several Portland birders and volunteers are in the documentary. If you're
interested in reading more about the film, which debuted last October as a
Portland Audubon Society benefit, check out
