What a difference a day makes! In an hour of nighthawk watching in yesterday's rain I had a grand total of 3 birds.
Tonight in two hours of observation we saw 302 nighthawks, the significant majority of which were flying east to west and the largest total tallied yet in this new watch by Four Harbors Audubon Society. Toward dusk 16 birds came down to feed over the north pond.
