Swifty's Big Flight

Swifty's Big Flight is the story of a Vaux's Swift's first big flight as he journeys south for the winter from his home in the Pacific Northwest. The book lightly weaves fun scientific facts about Portland's own Vaux’s Swifts into the fictional, family-oriented narrative. A local artist, working with the author and Portland Audubon ornithologist, provided the illustrations and hand-lettering. A percentage of proceeds are donated to Portland Audubon.
