Monroe?s return of the swifts community celebration is tomorrow. Our 8 year Monroe Wagner average number of roosting swifts for this date is 3507, with a high of 7405 and the low of 389. Tonight was good for 2831. When it?s very warm the numbers go way down, which shouldn?t be the case tomorrow. Channel 5?s Evening Mag had a pretty good recycled story on the wee bids tonight.

Average roost entry time is 2 minutes after sunset. For some reason they came in real late this evening.
