[nysbirds-l] Staten Island Common Nighthawks
I work on a 600 acre bulk liquid storage facility along the Kill Van Kull in Bayonne. Our terminal is full of water-filled dikes, night lights, rocky berms/expanses, weedy railroad rights-of-way, and the resultant winged insects. It is loaded with breeding Common Nighthawks. What I've noticed is that the males tend to roost offsite. Nightly at dusk, some males fly across the Kill from Staten Island. They would be able to be heard/seen from Richmond Terrace along the North Shore of Staten Island. A good landmark (to line up with) are the tall brown cement tanks of the Lafarge cement plant. P.S. I mention this because I do not see any summer reports from Staten on the eBird bar charts. I should really enter my nightly incidental sightings!

[nysbirds-l] (nysbirds-l] Montezuma area spoonbill
At 10:37am the spoonbill is perched in a tree a couple hundred yards west of the Route 89 bridge. Bridge over the canal. One can park just south of bridge and walk on a muddy path to get a view. Scope helps.
