[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk in Tburg

[Alyssa Johnson]

I had a new yard bird visit me last night! A COMMON NIGHTHAWK came swooping
in just before 9pm last night, 5/29/24. I associate them with open gravelly
lots or open ag fields, and I don't believe we have a gravelly lot near us.
We do have a small hay field next door, but the rest of the immediate land
is residential yards and forest. I'm not sure where it's been hanging out.
I couldn't make out any plumage features, just a silhouette. If you'd like
to see my erratic video footage that I used for ID confirmation, please
check out my video here: https://www.facebook.com/reel/2245574372448532
Note that parts of the video are edited and slowed down for ease of viewing
because they are QUICK birds to follow!

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk

[bob mcguire]

During our walk with the Cayuga Bird Club this morning, Ryan spotted what 
turned out to be a COMMON NIGHTHAWK at the Salt Point Preserve. Perched in a 
poplar, seen from this point:  42.539925, -76.547450

Since it is not technically a “rare” bird I did not post it to the local rare 
bird alert, but wanted to get the word out, nevertheless. We were alerted to 
its presence by the alarm calls of a group of birds - several warblers and 
vireos.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk

[Linda Orkin]

That’s interesting. I was running on the East hill reg way and a quick check of 
Merlin said it heard a Common Nighthawk. I did not hear that myself and it only 
registered once. But just an additional bit of potential information.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk

[Annette Nadeau]

Last evening at dusk a Common Nighthawk flew over, quite low. I believe the
location of the sighting (Bower Road, Trumansburg) is out of the basin.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk perched in Sapsucker Woods, Sunday 9/16

[Jay McGowan]

Interestingly, the (presumably same) COMMON NIGHTHAWK is back roosting
above the base of the Sherwood Platform on the Wilson Trail North at
Sapsucker Woods this morning, just one branch back from where it was on
Sunday.

Thanks, Mark!  Nighthawk is still there at 11:30 am - perched in the tree

Common Nighthawk perched above base of Sherwood Platform in Sapsucker Woods
(Sun 9/16, 9:30 AM). Also many warblers, Philadelphia Vireos, et al.

To find nighthawk, walk 1/3 boardwalk length from base, turn around and
look back to trail. Find side-by-side pair of tall trees right next to
trail, left one covered w poison ivy. 2/3 of the way up, 3 o'clock.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk in Collegetown?

[Geo Kloppel]

Hi Tom,

Very likely. The sound of Nighthawks over collegetown (and downtown Ithaca) is 
a fond memory of summer from the sixties and seventies, when they still bred 
here.  

Migrants seem to linger here for a few days, just long enough to make me wonder 
if they might take it up again some year.

-Geo

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk in Collegetown?

[Tom Hoebbel]

Holly and I are pretty sure we heard a common nighthawk on Oak St, above
the gorge in Collegetown about 10 PM. Are they likely to be heard here at
this time of year? Is there something else it may have been that's call is
similar?

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk

[Susan Danskin]

Was just out in my backyard (N Tioga St, Ithaca) filling my bird feeder when I 
happened to spot a Common Nighthawk flying overhead.  Loopy flight as it 
“hunted” for insects.  Headed north toward Stewart Park and the lake.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk, Bluegrass Lane

[Jay McGowan]

Brad Walker and I had a nice look at a low flyover COMMON NIGHTHAWK headed
west near the horse barns at Bluegrass Lane this evening at 7:36PM.

This morning I succeeded in my goal of finding a Cayuga County OLIVE-SIDED
FLYCATCHER, perched in the snags and spruces in the Dresser Road bog in
Summerhill.

I have been checking Myers Point regularly the last couple of weeks. Aside
from the occasional Least, Semipalmated, Solitary, and Lesser Yellowlegs,
it has been pretty quiet. Still no turnstones or Sanderlings there this
year that I have seen.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk in Danby

[Ethan Chaffee]

Hi all,

My wife and I were wrapping up a game of disc golf when a Common Nighthawk
silently flew directly overhead, heading South. We were in the open field
right next to Dotson Park Trail road for any who want to try for it. First
sighted at around 8:35. We didn't see him again, but were only there for
another 5 or 10 minutes. (For those of you who don't know, the entrance to
the disc golf course is directly across from the Danby Town Hall... We were
just East of the Danby Community Church when he flew overhead.)

Thanks!
Ethan

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk

[Daniel Graham]

I had a COMMON NIGHTHAWK cruise over me at tree-top elevation in a big
gust of wind around 10:30AM today. It was being harried by what I
think were red-wing blackbirds. This was on Willow Creek Rd. in
Ulysses.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk

[Gladys J Birdsall]

This evening about 6:30, while working in my garden, I heard the call of 
a Common Nighthawk among all the other birdsongs I was hearing.  I quick 
ran out onto the lawn and did manage to get a look at it.  It was flying 
east.  Moving right along, and disappeared over the treetops.  I did see 
the white bars on the wings. A nice surprise.


Good birding,

Gladys

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk on Inlet; Myers; add Canada Warbler at Sapsucker Woods

[Stuart Krasnoff]

I stopped at Myers this morning at ca. 0720h.  I didn't see any migrant 
shorebirds.  An Osprey was on the snag at Salt Pt. and the expected residents 
were about including both Common and Hooded Mergansers with brood.

I also want to add a vocal Canada Warbler to Mark and Tilden Chao's list from 
this morning.  Jesse Ross and I saw the bird in the buckthorns on the high end 
of the pond leg of the Wilson North at about 0830.

Late yesterday I birded Inlet Rd. which should be pinned on the google map link 
below.  At about 1930h I saw a Common Nighthawk rock and roll up the inlet and 
off to the southwest.  I had another sighting far off to the south at about 
2030h which I thought might have been the same bird I saw earlier. Seems like a 
good spot to look for nighthawks .

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk

[Geo Kloppel]

Yes. The date is perfect, any hour is possible, and the east hill location 
seems natural to me - I will forever associate Nighthawks with the skies over 
collegetown, 45 years ago when they still bred in Ithaca.

Probably a number of birders will be staking out the city this evening, 
watching the parks, the flood control channel, etc.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk

[John and Fritzie Blizzard]

When we lived in Ith. '61-'71 we always enjoyed seeing   hearing nighthawks 
over Montgomery Ward  other stores, incl. JC Penney at what is now the west 
end of  the Commons. We weren't often downtown at night between '71  '91 
when we lived in Dryden nor have we been downtown at night except a very few 
times since coming to Union Springs in '91.


We saw several nighthawks along Bundy Rd. in the daytime about 2002, a 
surprise to me at the time. I don't recall the time of the yr. but it could 
have been spring since we often went out to look at spring flowers. At that 
time I didn't consider myself a birder ... just an observer.


Fritzie

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk

Yesterday morning around 9:00, as we were driving down State Street just 
after turning off Mitchell St., Sara Jane and I had two birds fly over

only got a very brief look as they passed about 50' above the apartments 
being built on the left side of the road and disappeared (and we 
couldn't stop).  They had long, pointed wings and slender bodies.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk, Stewart Park

[Jay McGowan]

Brad Walker, Livia Santana, Matt Medler, Emma Grieg, and I had a COMMON
NIGHTHAWK at Stewart Park last night around dusk (8:20?). Brad first
spotted it over Jetty Woods, and it eventually flew right over our heads on
the shore of Stewart Park and headed up towards Ithaca Heights.

This morning I drove around the Ithaca Airport. Nothing too exciting, but
lots of the expected species, including NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, BLUE-WINGED
WARBLER, BLACKPOLL WARBLER, TENNESSEE WARBLER, ALDER FLYCATCHER, WILLOW
FLYCATCHER, EASTERN TOWHEE, EASTERN MEADOWLARK, SAVANNAH SPARROW, and FIELD
SPARROW.

Here at Sapsucker Woods, I just saw and heard a singing WILLOW FLYCATCHER
near the platform at the Fuller Wetlands north of the building.

Cheers,
-Jay

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk, Stewart Park

[Dave Nutter]

This evening Stuart Krasnoff, Gary Kohlenberg, and I spontaneously gathered by the Cascadilla Boathouse in Stewart Park at about 8:15pm. Around 8:30 Gary was the first to pick out a single COMMON NIGHTHAWK working its way north over Cayuga Inlet or Jetty Woods. It foraged over the vicinity of the lakeshore of Treman Marine Park for a minute or so before we lost it against West Hill, apparently headed north again.While not seeing any more nighthawks we amused ourselves by looking at the crescent of Venus through Stuart's scope.--Dave NutterOn May 18, 2012, at 10:06 AM, Jay McGowan jw...@cornell.edu wrote:Brad Walker, Livia Santana, Matt Medler, Emma Grieg, and I had a COMMON NIGHTHAWK at Stewart Park last night around dusk (8:20?).

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk

[Alm9413]

Last evening at a friend's home on Yaple Road, a number of us witnessed a  
Common Night hawk fly over us heading east. We watched it's flight pattern 
until  it vanished over the horizon.
Good birding,
Ann Mitchell
