I have lived in the same community on the east side of Columbus (43213) for over 20 years. Years ago flocks of Nighthawks swooping and peenting in our immediate summer sky were indeed common, but now I'm lucky to hear one fly-by per summer. I always go running to look for it, and my wife thinks I'm nuts. However, if I drive one mile north to the large and sprawling complex that includes Mount Carmel East Hospital and the old Western Electric buildings, Nighthawks are there to be heard, seen and enjoyed. Last night I was on the east side of the complex, north of E. Broad Street, and saw and heard about a half dozen individuals. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
