Hi Robin and Tweeters,

A small group of us gathered yesterday night around 8:00pm to watch the
swifts. They went into the chimney around 8:30. It was amazing! There were about
100 last night and one of my friends exclaimed it was one of the coolest things
she had ever seen (I'd have to agree).

Also, today at Lions Park in East Olympia there was a beautiful pair of
Bullock's Orioles.

"There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot...Like
winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to
do away with them. Now we face the question whether a still higher 'standard
of living' is worth its cost in things natural, wild and free. For us the
minority, the opportunity to see geese is more important than television, and the
chance to find a pasque-flower is a right as inalienable as free speech."
