Who would've thought that in the middle of downtown Los Angeles you can see one of the most fascinating natural spectacles around? This past Friday, Audubon Center at Debs Park continued the tradition of gathering on the roof of Joe's Auto Park at 5th and Broadway to be with fellow nature lovers and watch the roosting swifts. It is an incredible scene, at dusk the birds gathered in the air above the chimney, then circled in a giant tornado. Finally, they dove into the chimney for the night. Thank you to everyone who came out and celebrated with us. Here is video from a previous year:
