During our walk with the Cayuga Bird Club this morning, Ryan spotted what turned out to be a COMMON NIGHTHAWK at the Salt Point Preserve. Perched in a poplar, seen from this point: 42.539925, -76.547450
Since it is not technically a “rare” bird I did not post it to the local rare bird alert, but wanted to get the word out, nevertheless. We were alerted to its presence by the alarm calls of a group of birds - several warblers and vireos.
