Many thanks to the folks who have looked for and found some nighthawk flights recently. Fall soccer games provide some marginal foraging for nighthawks, and it could be worthwhile to glance up for them. As I mentioned before, there seems to be something magical about today--3 September--for peak numbers: Columbus had "at least several thousand" on 9/3/68, 3,000+ on 98/3/76, and ~2500 on 9/3/92. I believe we hold the record for the state's latest nighthawk--11/20/756, flying and calling over High Street on the north side. Anyway, the thoughtful observations and remarks are valuable. Thanks, Bill Whan ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
