Pretty nice conditions in the Concord area, provided eight of us some very good looks at 466 nighthawks. The early groups were buzzing north along the Merrimack River corridor. Once the breeze slowed down, there were plenty of birds feeding as they moved along.
Some other highlights were a high count of cormorants (11) for this migration monitoring; a continuing swift presence (at least 80); and a kestrel that was around all evening that we got to hear calling.
