Every evening at sunset in September during their migration south, Swifts, which are insect eating birds, roost in a chimney at an elementary school in northwest Portland. They all flood into the chimney at the same time, and it is quite a sight to see!
Kynzie was eating a cracker and thought it was really funny to rub into Daddy’s hair!
“Ahahaha! I got you Daddy!”
Ryan was trying to point Kynzie’s attention towards the birds (which aren’t visible in this picture).
A hawk was swarming the birds looking to score a good meal. A swarm of swifts would chase him off while the others flew away. He finally decided to hang out on the chimney and we were pretty sure he succeeded in his mission.
A little difficult to see but if you look closely you can see the birds tunneling into the chimney.
The next group circling around.
It was past pie’s bedtime. Sleepy!
