The swifts really put on a show tonight in downtown Dover, I estimated about 2,500 swifts came in to roost at the Moose Lodge Chimney on Central Ave. Normally when I check there are 200-300 birds roosting any given night, but possibly due to the weather and/or just a general increase in the number of swifts this year the numbers tonight were staggering. It almost rivaled the Vaux's Swift roost I watched when I visited Portland, Oregon a few years ago!
