• Missing the Chapman swifts? A stunning dusk show is happening in Oregon City (hereisoregon.com) — Vaux's swifts are back roosting in a downtown Oregon City chimney, creating a nightly spectacle residents can watch near Seventh and Main through late September. The best views are from street level or the Arch Bridge Taphouse patio as hundreds of birds swirl into the old chimney at dusk during their southbound migration.
