Hello! Over the course of about 15 minutes starting at approximately 6:40 PM this evening, I observed four different waves of Nighthawks over the Nature Center parking lot at Highbanks totaling just over 100 birds. The birds all were moving in a southerly direction parallel to U.S. Rte. 23 (High St.). The largest wave contained about 70 birds. It would be interesting to see if anyone in the Worthington, Clintonville, or other points south of Columbus observed the same flocks.
