Hi Tweets,
You are cordially invited to join us for our annual Swifts Night Out in
Monroe on Saturday, September 12 from 4:30pm till dusk (~8pm) at the Wagner
Performing Arts Center (639 West Main Street, Monroe, WA 98272
<https://maps.app.goo.gl/wf2x5HvqcGannrQu7>).
For those new to the event, we invite the public to join us for an evening
to celebrate the breathtaking migration of the Vaux's Swift. During spring
and fall migration, the swifts use the chimney of the old Frank Wagner
Elementary School as a night roost. Sometimes it's a few birds, sometimes
it's more than 20,000! Half the fun is never knowing what you'll get on any
particular night.
We invite you to claim your space on the school lawn and wait for the
swifts to arrive near sunset. Chairs, blankets, and binos are all
recommended. While waiting, we'll have information booths, children's
activities, and a presentation by Larry Schwitters, our preeminent Vaux's
Swift expert (6pm in the auditorium).
We'll also have a food truck on site, so we hope you'll plan to make an
evening of it!
