Our speaker, Larry Schwitters, will not be available to give us a presentation on Swifts on the date of our gathering, but he has done the next-best thing by recommending two other speakers active in the Swift community in our area. Diane Yorgason-Quinn works closely with Larry and can incorporate his remarks with her own, drawn from her abundant experiences documenting Swift seasonal migration numbers and coordinating the JBLM program. She represented the United States last year at the international Swift conference held in Tel Aviv. She is an active member of Audubon in Tacoma. Also bringing us Swift news and stories of local activism will be Rachel Hudson who has discovered a new roosting site in Chehalis for Swifts. She spends her time counting and documenting their presence there, sure to be an encouraging development for us all. A big Thank You to Larry and a warm welcome to our new featured speakers, Diane and Rachel!
