While the swifts are no longer roosting at Chapman Elementary in Northwest Portland, they’ve moved on to other spots in the area! We cannot guarantee that you’ll see them roost, but if you head to the below locations just before dusk you might get to watch this incredible birding spectacular.
Our media friends at The Oregonian and KGW have reported seeing them at various locations including:
- Oregon City: Find a spot in downtown Oregon City near Seventh and Main street for viewing
- Peace Lutheran Church, 2201 N Rosa Parks Way
- Calvary Presbyterian Church, 3516 NE 71st Ave.
- Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral, 3131 NE Glisan St.
