Monday evening I was looking for Sedge Wrens around the white barn meadow at
Battelle Darby Creek. I saw 10-12 Common Nighthawks in less than half an
hour.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] NighthawkFirstWave,Gahanna

The past several nights have seen an uptick of migrant Common Nighthawks
here in Gahanna.  The choice spot is the new Price Rd Park bikepath, just
north of I-270 as it borders Port of Columbus Airport, where the birds seem
to mill around before striking out over the open fields of the airport.  The
past 5 nights here have had totals of 4, 1, 3, 26, and 78.  This correlates
well with a slightly delayed first wave of Nighthawk migrants, probably
lingering a bit because of the balmy weather.  Numbers should taper off over
the next few days, then perk up again in the middle of September.  Has
anyone else in central Ohio noticed large Nighthawk flocks over the past 2
evenings?
