Hi Tweets,
You are cordially invited to join us for our annual Swifts Night Out in Monroe on Saturday, September 6 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!
