Nighthawks were present over our house in Hastings for much of June. I don't think that I noticed a decrease in numbers. They are one of my favorite migrants as well. As for the Barn Swallows-if the swallows are located over a door that the kids must use -some bird stores sell nesting platforms for robins that can be put up in a slightly more favorable location. This relocation would probably only work if a deterrent were placed on the current location such as plastic wrap, a mesh barrier or the shiny 'scare tape' sold at bird stores. -------------------------------1152620679 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; charset=3DUS-ASCII"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2900.2912" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY id=3Drole_body style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY:=20= Arial"=20 bottomMargin=3D7 leftMargin=3D7 topMargin=3D7 rightMargin=3D7><FONT id=3Drol= e_document=20 face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2> <DIV>Nighthawks were present over our house in Hastings for much of June.
