Hi all, Quite a showing this evening! While driving to the grocery store earlier this evening, my wife and I passed the Waterman Farm (off Kenny Rd. west of OSU campus) where we spotted a flock of 50-90 Common Nighthawks heading east from Kenny Rd. north of Lane Ave. On our drive back from the store around 6:45, an even larger group (210+) was seen foraging over the park and parking area south of Lane Ave. along Kenny. About 30 minutes later in the area of Fishinger Ave. and Kenny, another 80+ were visible from my yard. I never heard a single vocalization from any of them. Also present in the air over my neighborhood were large numbers of medium to large dragon flies -- I'm not sure if those were the nighthawks' food, competitors or both. Good birding, Paul Hurtado ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
