There was a modest flight of 540 Com Nighthawks migrating along the North Shore in Duluth this evening between 6:40 and 7:35 pm. They were mostly flying above E Superior Street in a 7-block stretch between the Fitgers Bldg (600 block) and the Rose Garden (1300 block). It will be interesting to see if any counts were made by others elsewhere in Duluth today before 6:40. So far this month in Duluth the largest one-day nighthawk total was 3,100 on 24 August, as reported on the Hawk Ridge website (http://www.hawkcount.org/month_summary.php?rsite=288).
