Big night for all HRTOS members and visitors at Tullahoma High School, 
Tullahoma, Tn chimney----count of 9000 swifts by Dwain and Joyce Adams, who 
were there at the beginning, all the way to the end.  I was busy setting up the 
scope to give visitors a close look, but counted 3000 toward the end.  Joyce 
and Dwain have been doing this for several years---their last year's high count 
was 7000.  I counted 6800 in thhe pouring down rain last year----also reported 
sunrise watch of a Sharp-shinned Hawk entering the chimney and staying for 
about 30 miutes.
