Things have picked up with yesterday's total of 66 nighthawks and tonight's total of 104 birds, after being shut out three days in a row for the first time since the Nighthawk Watch began in 2017. Had a red bat again, perhaps the same individual as seen the last couple of nights. John Turner

Last night we had a highly productive count with 237 nighthawks coming through. Typically, by early October the numbers start waning so the total for 10/1 was a large surprise. Will be curious to see how the weather over the next couple of days affects the count. John Turner -- NYSbirds-L
