The Swifts at Chapman School

OK. I've not tried this before but I have some video (about 59MB) from watching the swifts at Chapman School in Portland, OR and its pretty cool. So going to try and upload it here! (I ended up loading it to YouTube), so here's that link:



This portion of the video captured the moment when they really start diving into the school's chimney. We also have another dramatic moment when a predator visits the scene. Its unedited and you can hear the crowd's reaction. Enjoy.

If you are interested in more about the swift's visit to Portland every fall, the Audubon Society has more info at their site.
