Hi Bob,

The numbers have been dropping very quickly. I know Jim Wolford reported
only 17 Swifts on Aug. 12th. That would be 4 days prior to your Tuesday
trip. I think we have to assume they are pretty much "gone". I get the
feeling that the same already applies to many of our neotropical migrants.

Regards, Rick Whitman
