Participants saw 151 nighthawks tonight with many good views of overhead birds allowing for identification of male, female, and juvenile birds. For the first time we had a tail-less nighthawk go by, looking more like a bat than a bird. Also had two adult bald eagles.....
As of tonight, we've seen 1,216 nighthawks so far this season.
