I had just got home from work (2015), and thought to step out front for a last peek at the sky. As I reached the edge of the driveway, a COMMON NIGHTHAWK tilted over, not 10' up. The wife was standing on the porch and I shouted "look!" She went "Wha?" I said "nighthawk". She responded with Yea

[cayugabirds-l] Black Vultures and Broad-winged Hawks

Having the day off, I got over to Stevenson Rd about 1030, arriving at the same time as Bud, where we found Reed and Eric. Reed and Eric had already scouted the vultures and found at least two BLACK VULTURES as they took wing and started circling higher. This gave me time to see them in binocs t
