Lee Underschultz Firefly Hollow Little Hocking, OH I was out in the garden yesterday early afternoon and observed a slow trickle of nighthawks heading southeast over the hollow. Non of the large flocks that have been reported here lately. Nighthawks are a bird that we don't normally see here so it was a treat. Thanks to everyone who responded to my goldfinch nesting question. I just have taken those ubiquitous goldfinches for granted and never really paid much attention to their nesting habits before. I had another species showing interest in the pale yellow frayed yarn. It was a hummingbird. I should have posted this sooner but I don't know if it was anything special or not. On Wednesday, around 7:30pm, I saw a Peregrine falcon sitting on the train trestle next to the downtown bridge in Parkersburg, WV. I had heard that there was a nest on one of the train trestles in Parkersburg but had never pursued looking for it. We couldn't stop on the bridge but since it was almost at eye level across from us (and luckily I wasn't driving) I got a nice look at it. It looked to be an adult. There were a few brave pigeons on the same trestle not far from the falcon. There is definitely plenty of food available for it.
