On the St. Lawrence river at dusk tonight at Rockport, ON I observed 23 common nighthawks catching insects. Earlier in the afternoon 5-7 common terns were fishing off the waterfront, and at least two Caspian terns joined in briefly. 3 osprey were patrolling the shoreline as well.
Directions: The 1000 Islands Parkway runs between Gananoque and Brockville, ON...Rockport is near the halfway point... or take exit 661 from the 401 to Hwy 137, then east on the Parkway a couple of clicks.
