Hello Hawkers Nighthawkers, that is. Having read several sighting reports of Common Nighthawks in the past few days, I decided tonight to strike out for Hawk Hill tonight to see what's (ahem,) up. Sure enough, I saw a total of 23 Nighthawks between 8pm and 9, which is when the mosquitos finally drove me out. Now the trouble with Nighthawks is that when they are foraging they are all over the place so you don't know how many times you counted the same ones. I think a little later in the season the urge to migrate will make them seem to stream past from more or less North to South. Regardless, I will be there again tomorrow because its fun. Looking forward to an itchy night. Tim _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
