Vaux Swift Roosting

A unique activity that attracts thousands of Portlanders (and a few Peregrine Falcons) to a downtown elementary school on any given evening in September.


People arrive early to get good seats and have a glass of wine or beer before the show begins.

Most children do not actually witness the entire 30 minute to an hour show. They find card board sledding to be way more entertaining.

This little gal is ready. She hears the birds circling.
