[Tweeters] swift numbers in Monroe?

[Larry Schwitters via Tweeters]

9/6	1000 circling. But Merlins made swifts go high and then the majority else where. 
9/7	526
9/8	446
9/9	335
9/10	83
9/11	212 They didn’t leave until 1:25 this afternoon which suggests today was not a travel day. Observers comment below.
9/12

Just as a group of about 600 to 650 swifts were about to swarm into the chimney, a Falcon chased them away . The swifts flew away at a very high altitude and did not return.     

I suspect most tweeters know that the wee birds abandoned Portland Chapman a year ago.
