This so rocks that people are coming out to see this, and also doing a bit
of Environmental Ed as well.

I was at Monroe's middle school this evening. The swifts really got started
around 6:45 and were all "in bed" by 7:20.

There were about 10 adults and as many children watching. It was also,
coincidentally, the middle school's open house so we were able to gently
educate several teachers and parents that these birds were not (nasty,
non-native) starlings but rather very valuable swifts which eat lots of
bugs!

Very inspirational for all there, even a 3-year old was thrilled.
