Last night the nighthawks were also moving. Here in Unity I estimated a flock of 40 but there could have been a far greater number since they lingered over the area for over a half hour while travelling all directions. There were 30+ in view at once.
Nice sight!
Good birding.

--David Ladd just called to say he saw a flock of 100+ Common Nighthawks over a field in Norridgewock, field of dreams I guess.He saw another group of 15 - 20 just a mile away. Those are bigger numbers than I've seen or heard reported in recent years.I hope birders who see 10 or more nighthawks will report them - it appears to be a species in real decline.Heartening to get David's report - sorry not to be with him.Best, Peter
