Pre-COVID, Portland's favorite thing to do in September was to watch the Swifts (small migrating birds) turn into a dramatic bird tornado and descend into an old chimney to roost at sunset. Everyone brings a picnic and relaxes on the grass. "Charming" doesn't cut it. If you are lucky enough to visit in September in the post-COVID vaccine era and don't mind the drive to PDX, oh, do visit.

In the month of SEPTEMBER: pack a picnic dinner, sit on the hillside at dusk and observe the Vaux's Swifts funnel into the school's old chimney in a synchronized manor. A Portland tradition.

Every September the Vaux Swifts (migrating birds) roost in the chimney of Chapman School in NW Portland. Each year hundreds of onlookers gather on the lawn of Chapman school, from about an hour before sunset to about a half hour after, to watch the Swifts gather, organize, perform aerial maneuvers, and finally funnel in a black fluttering cloud into the chimney to roost. Very unusual and fun - bring a picnic.

Neighborhood school and park. Great for playing tennis, kicking a ball around, throwing a frisbee, etc.

If you happen to visit in September, make sure to go to chapman school at sunset to watch the swifts settle in for the night in the chimney. A truly Portland experience!
