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,
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.

Just spotted a sleeping Common Nighthawk on the east Ithaca recreation path,
about a couple hundred yards from Honness Lane on the east side. Wish I had my
camera, all I can offer are cellphone pictures. It did not seem to notice my
presence there at all

I just heard a common nighthawk peenting!!! I’m on the west side of Geneva,
still in city limits. I’ve never heard a nighthawk here! Super cool “sighting”
by ear.

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.

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.

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,
Saw a Common Nighthawk from Esker Brook Trail tonight.

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.
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?

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.

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

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.

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

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
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,

When we lived in Ith. '61-'71 we always enjoyed seeing hearing nighthawks

Common Night hawk fly over us heading east. We watched it's flight pattern
until it vanished over the horizon.
