The Swifts are in at the Tullahoma High School.  I went over about 8:15 PM this 
evening, 20June14, by myself------my birding buddies for this are all on 
vacations.  The birds started dropping in the chimney shortly after-----not as 
many as years past, but then I realized----we have never counted them soon 
after arrival before-----and it occurred to me that we are counting the adult 
males and females now;  and when they are getting ready to leave, the added 
family.  The last ones dropped in at 8:35 PM. One person counting is slightly 
difficult, but I'm going with a rough count of 2000 for tonight--- will get 
some help and go for accuracy after this.

The Nighthawk flying all around was pleasant to hear.
