The sole remaining building is now the home of Vaux's Swifts.

Vaux's Swifts prefer roosting in standing hollow trees.

This is North America's largest concentration of Vaux's Swifts.

The "Chapman swifts" are part of a migratory population of Vaux's Swifts that roost seasonally in the chimney of Chapman Elementary School in Portland, Oregon.

The mixed coniferous forest is home to White-headed Woodpeckers, Pygmy Nuthatches, Green-tailed Towhees, Northern Pygmy-owls, Vaux's Swifts, Winter Wrens, and MacGillivray's Warblers.

Birds in lower numbers include Vaux's Swifts, the endangered Spotted Owl, Bald Eagles, the Downy Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpeckers, the Pine Siskin, the Hermit Warbler, Pacific-slope Flycatchers, Golden-crowned Kinglets, and Ruffed Grouse.
