Subject: [ia-bird] Kettle of Common Nighthawk
Is it possible that we are seeing migration. For about 10 minutes I saw so many NightHawks circling the west side of the park and within 10-15 minutes they were gone. I haven’t seen any Nighthawks for several years let alone so many circling closely?
I couldn’t count but a friend looking for the Mississippi Kite said he counted 49.
