Large Flock of Vaux's Swifts in Flight, Monroe, Washington

Hundreds of Vaux's swifts (Chaetura vauxi) gather at dusk before roosting in the chimney at the Wagner Center in Monroe, Washington, during their fall migration. Vaux's swifts do not have back talons, so they cannot stand or perch. They roost by clinging to rough surfaces, mainly old-growth trees, but also old chimneys and smoke stacks that do not have smooth interior liners.
