After ANOTHER unsuccessful search for the Hud Godwit and miss of the Marbled
Godwit, we did get to see 4 Common Nighthawks flying over the center median at
Jones Beach.

to look for Common Nighthawks overhead, and within a minute or two saw the

variable southwestward paths, roughly parallel to the north shore.

I’m having luck with Common Nighthawks this fall. I counted 6 in one group late

another lone individual at 7:30PM.
All were heading west. Nothing else of note on the water.
