Our Vaux's Happening Northbound migrations has bagged 150,000 to 400,000 Vaux's Swifts each of the last 14 years. So far this year we're over 600,000. We suspect the cold and wet weather is responsible.

The Courtenay Museum has just gotten a chimney cam up and running. Runs super smooth. Swifts are in there now.

Our Monroe Wagner inside chimney cam continues to run not smoothly. Three-four thousand of the wee birds in there now. https://vaux-swift-inside1.click2stream.com/
