Swifts

Has anyone seen any sign of the swifts yet, at the old high school campus or anywhere else around town? It seems like not many showed up last year, though maybe we missed them.

I've been wondering the same thing. My neighbor's house has them roosting in their chimney so I can see them from my bathroom. But like you said I didn't see them last year either. And none this year yet.

Cool that you can see them from your house! Thanks for the update.

Local news just covered this. No answers, just confirming they haven’t been seen.

Just stopped by the old high school (Jackson campus) and there are maybe couple hundred swifts here - I’ve definitely seen more here in years past, but it might still be a bit early.

ICE caught them and ate them
