At 3:00 this afternoon, five Common Nighthawks passed over Kiwanis, Franklin Co., following the river south. At 4:30, 35 more came in from the north. This group circled back and remained overhead for a half hour and was still there at 5:00 when it began raining and I left. A dozen or so Chimney Swifts joined them around 5:00. > On Sep 11, 2017, at 10:01 PM, Leslie Sours <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > Recently I reported about this year's increase in the number of Chimney Swifts staging in the small stack of a church located between the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers in Columbus. I have been monitoring numbers in this stack since July, with numbers peaking at 970 on 9/8. This coincided with one of the dates of "A Swift Night Out." The next night, 9/9, the number had dropped to 630. Tonight, 9/11, I counted only 227 Swifts entering the chimney. Tonight I was also treated to 37 Common Nighthawks drifting overhead from west to southeast. This brings the number of Common Nighthawks I have seen along this corridor in the past month to over 100. > > Sent from my iPhone > > . > > ______________________________________________________________________ > > Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society. > Please consider joining our Society, at www.ohiobirds.org/site/membership.php. > Our thanks to Miami University for hosting this mailing list. > > > You can join or leave the list, or change your options, at: > listserv.miamioh.edu/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=OHIO-BIRDS > Send questions or comments about the list to: [log in to unmask] . ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
