Common Nighthawk was on the same branch high in the sycamore tree next to the
river for the several last days. He was preening, calling, and just sunbathing.
Also, I want to summarize my observation of the fledglings over June-July in
this small but very bird-productive park.
Fledglings of this summer so far --
mallard
canada goose
tree swallow
rough-winged swallow
cardinal
carolina chicadee
tufted titmouse
carolina wren
gray catbird
blue jay
robin
starling
downy woodpecker
red-belied woodpecker
white-breasted nuthach
bluebird
grackle
warbling vireo
red-eyed vireo
blue-gray gnatcatcher
eastern kingbird
great crested flycatcher
red-winged blackbird
unfortunate song sparrows were seen raising only the cowbird babies.
