Title: Common Nighthawk St.Clair and Dufferin
Post by: Rotarran on June 22, 2015, 02:21:46 PM

Heard at least 1 (possibly 2) Common Nighthawks around 9pm on Saturday in the St. Clair and Dufferin area.  Wasn't able to get a visual because it was getting a bit dark but last year I did see one in the same area and around the same time doing some crazy aerial acrobatics including a couple of very close flybys.  It swooped down below the wires almost at eye-level.  It was quite the spectacle.  Seems like a bit of a hotspot for them.

I saw 2 night hawks very close by on Friday.  It is the first time I have ever seen 2 flying together.  Also about 6 Chimney swifts, haven't been able to find the chimney yet...
