I wonder if these Nighthawks have been roosting in the same place day after 
day? Or are they even the same birds?

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Nighthawks

2014-08-25 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal 
I also saw one Nighthawk over the hills from Jennings Pond looking northwards.  
It flew in its erratic way but soon disappeared among the vegetation of the 
woods. 
I also saw an Indigo Bunting, two Pileated Woodpeckers and several Cedar 
Waxwings and Barn Swallows and an Eastern KIngbird was heard. 

I saw lots and lots of Vesper Bluets and enjoyed watching them till dusk!

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Nighthawks

This evening Pat and I were delivering groceries to her 95 year old mother, 
who's recovering from temporal arteritis. We left her place on Triphammer Road 
at 7:15, stopped at Sunset Park to see if we could spot any Nighthawks from 
there, then zipped down to the RTJ golf course. We parked near the lodge and 
took stations along the post-and-rail fence where we could see lots of sky. 
Various people stopped and asked about what we were looking for (the Audubon 
Field Guide app is such a great resource to have in one's pocket for answering 
questions like that!)

At about 7:40 I spotted one Nighthawk far away over Lighthouse Woods. Another 
birder came by a couple minutes later, but left before I got his name. Five 
minutes later there were seven Nighthawks over our heads. I wrote a quick email 
notice (I always have email access in my pocket, but no texting). Soon the 
birds headed over toward the Fire Training Tower, Fall Creek and Renwick Wood, 
so we drove over there, and enjoyed at least nine Nighthawks foraging at 
treetop level - great views!

They all disappeared by 8:00 pm.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Nighthawks

2014-08-25 Thread Dave Nutter 
I sought Common Nighthawks from 6:35 to about 8pm. I was hoping to see them 
from my yard but I think the surrounding trees have grown up too much impeding 
the low-altitude views of the flats. Anyway, that was a bust, even though I saw 
up to 9 of them far to the NNE while scoping from the NYS-89 bridge over the 
Flood Control Channel. Sometimes they rose high enough to be seen against the 
sky above Cayuga Heights, but mostly they were tough to see against trees of 
East Hill or The Flats. There also were lots of gulls (probably Ring-billed, I 
estimated at least 30) apparently hawking insects but within a more contained 
area and lower, I assumed over the lower reaches of Cascadilla Creek but I 
couldn't be sure. The first nighthawk I saw was at about 6:50 and the last 2 
(from the bike path a bit farther north and against the sky) at 7:44pm.
