I also have a recollection of seeing hundreds of Common Nighthawks in migration; although, this was along the Interstate 684 corridor during fall of 1996. It was during the evening in either late August or the very first few days of September. This was near Katonah, NY. It was memorable to me, because it was the most I had ever seen in one spot before (or since).

I just have the picture in my brain where I saw lots of them flying lazily in a typical nighthawk fashion but can’t recollect exact number. May be 300+. That was a neat sighting. They seemed to have flown towards airport, so I went to that location but I could not relocate them!
