Counting Vaux’s Swifts at the Selleck Schoolhouse

Audubon’s “Vaux’s Happening” project has been documenting the Selleck activity for the last twenty-eight years. Last year, Selleck recorded the fourth highest count of any site in North America. We would like to invite you to experience this wonderful natural spectacle while also contributing as a “citizen scientist” to help document the use of this roosting site.

Veazie Marsh

Rainier Audubon is working with King County in their efforts to restore these wetlands.

Water temperatures in Newaukum Creek regularly exceed state standards for temperature which negatively impacts salmon. This wetland contributes a lot of warm water to the stream during summer/early fall. Likely future restoration actions would include methods to moderate water temperature while enhancing fish and wildlife habitat (planting trees and shrubs, placing large downed wood and snags, etc.).
