[birding] Not exactly a swift tower but ...

[Joel Geier]

Hi Molly & all,

Thanks for the report. It's definitely Vaux's Swift and there will be a
call for volunteers to monitor chimneys over the weekend, as part of the
Swift Watch that got started in Washington's Puget Sound region a few
years ago and now has spread north to BC and south to OR & CA. 

There have been some successful Vaux's Swift towers but now there is
also this (see link below).

Joel

Congratulations and keep them coming.
