Hi folks, We’ve had a large movement of Common Nighthawks migrating through the Duluth area last evening and this evening. The count from the Lakeside neighborhood (this is the second year of a nightly August nighthawk count) last night was about 10,600. I have yet to get the official total of tonight’s count from the Hawk Ridge overlook, but it was well above that total when last I heard.
Sorry for the unofficial numbers, but I wanted to give you folks south of us a heads-up that big numbers are heading your way. We’ll post the final numbers soon… Happy nighthawk-watching! ☺ Debbie ____________________________ Debbie Waters Education Director Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory P.O.
