At 3:00 this afternoon, five Common Nighthawks passed over Kiwanis, Franklin Co., following the river south. At 4:30, 35 more came in from the north. This group circled back and remained overhead for a half hour and was still there at 5:00 when it began raining and I left. A dozen or so Chimney Swifts joined them around 5:00.

I have been monitoring numbers in this stack since July, with numbers peaking at 970 on 9/8. This coincided with one of the dates of "A Swift Night Out."  The next night, 9/9, the number had dropped to 630. Tonight, 9/11, I counted only 227 Swifts entering the chimney. Tonight I was also treated to 37 Common Nighthawks drifting overhead from west to southeast. This brings the number of Common Nighthawks I have seen along this corridor in the past month to over 100.
