Let me try this again: somehow it got all split up when I pasted it
in.
This is what it sounds like when thousands of Vaux's Swifts
finally begin their daily funnel down the furnace chimney at
Chapman School in Portland Oregon.

This daily party happens every September here in Portland just
after sunset for about three weeks. If you are interested in
attending, it is advised by many that you stop at Food Front Coop
on Thurman street on the way and pick up a bottle of wine and
some food and show up early. I doubt drinking is legal in the
park, but you will blend in if you pick a spot amongst the regulars
close to the Audubon Society of Portland's Swift Watch table.
For more information about the Vaux's Swifts in Portland plus a
photo of the chimney at Chapman Park try the Audubon Society
of Portland's web site:
