Today's swarm came to the same convenient location as the 4/1/22 swarm. Apparently the smell of a recent swarm is even stronger than the power of Swarm Commander.

And I'm continually reminded how just having an active hive(s) can act as a swarm magnet! I've been helping a new young beekeeper in Lindley Park overwinter a nuc and then set him up with a split from one of my hives just last week. On April 3, two separate big swarms landed in the same tree in his backyard! I was able to collect them both and will put them to work drawing comb for me.
