In this photo you can see a gigantic flock of swifts that nest in a chimney at the Chapman Middle School in NW Portland every year. The annual event draws hundreds of spectators every night throughout September.

And in this photo you can see a 20-foot tall woman about to knock over the building and send those freeloading birds on their way.

Ok, so she merely walked in front of my camera while I was taking a photo. Whatever.
