[nysbirds-l] Nighthawks
Last fall John Turner and I discussed how interesting it would be to hold a Nighthawk count west of the Stone Bridge count to see if there were similarities or not. Keeping this in mind I was able to get out for three days this weekend to see what might be flying around northeastern Queens. I conducted counts on three evenings this week as noted below, all from the end of the APEC boardwalk overlooking the marsh. Last night's results were better, although nothing like John's results. Despite starting each night somewhere around 6pm or earlier, all birds were seen at 7:09pm or later.

[nysbirds-l] Nighthawks at Stone Bridge - Frank Melville Park
What a difference a day makes! In an hour of nighthawk watching in yesterday's rain I had a grand total of 3 birds. Tonight in two hours of observation we saw 302 nighthawks, the significant majority of which were flying east to west and the largest total tallied yet in this new watch by Four Harbors Audubon Society. Toward dusk 16 birds came down to feed over the north pond.

[nysbirds-l] Nighthawks @ Meville Park
Visiting the stone bridge at Melville Park proved quite productive Friday night as a team effort by Byron Young, Patrice Domeischel, and I produced 60+ nighthawks feeding actively over the two ponds in the span of an hour and a half. Their behavior was interesting. For the first 45 minutes or so the birds stayed high, hawking for insects several hundred feet above the ground. Toward dusk, however, they descended to the point they were below the tree-line, only 5-20 feet above the water surface. For the first time ever I saw a nighthawk drink on the wing as it skimmed the pond's surface. Byron and I agreed we could discern a definite influx of birds coming in from the north, from Conscience Bay, and to a lesser extent from the east. Given this, watching for nighthawks from the Old Field Lighthouse might prove especially productive, if permission could be granted to park along the road.

[nysbirds-l] Nighthawks again - Suffolk County
This evening Bob May and I saw between 25-30 Nighthawks over a field on Sound Avenue in Wading River, near the Levin farm stand, about 1/2 mile east of the 25/25A split, on the north side (water tower in teh distance is a good reference). Some may remember the late Jim Clinton doing annual surveys here. Unfortunately in the past I never managed to get out there. It was my loss, because it was an enjoyable experience seeing them close by, flying over us at times, then diving low over the fields. None were vocalizing as far as I could hear -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[nysbirds-l] Nighthawks at Melville Park
Went back to the stone bridge at Frank Melville Park in Setauket this evening for the third night out of the last four to look for nighthawks. Spent a little more than an hour there and saw 31 nighthawks overhead, although that may represent a slight overcount since the trees along the western edge of the pond blocked the ability to see movement clearly and birds I thought were new, undetected birds may have been birds that swung back around. Like the report for Caumsett that Dave Klauber provided, the nighthawks at Melville were very high, some barely distinguishable although I was using 12X binoculars.. a very different experience from the other night when the birds were skimming over the pond surface. Arie Gilbert and his friend Bob (don't remember last name) arrived toward the end of the watching period and saw a dozen or so of the birds... Another wonderful night enjoying goatsuckers.

[nysbirds-l] Nighthawks at Caumsett State Park Suffolk County
Late this morning there was a small flock of Nighthawks flying very high over the northern part of Caumsett, as viewed from just west of the parking lot. Very well spotted by the Feustels. They seemed to be staying in the area for the 20 - 30 minutes that we watched them -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[nysbirds-l] Nighthawks at Heckscher SP
John Turner's post prompted me to offer up the results of my own nighthawk watch, in afield in Heckscher Park's northwest section this past Monday evening (8/31).From 7PM-8PM I saw at least 15 nighthawks (8 visible at one time) moving in a generally southeast-northwest direction, some passing right overhead, others over the treeline at the south end of the field or beyond. Some backtracking and milling about by the birds renders my estimate of 15 birds a very conservative one - there could have easily been 25 or more. Over the last 14 years I've found Heckecher to be a very reliable location to observe migrating nighthawks. During late August and early September, if you start watching around dusk on a day with mostly clear skies and a light northerly wind, seeing at least 5-10 birds is an almost sure thing. - John Gluth -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES Temporary archive: http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
