Saturday, 8/27 Good night tonight at the Eagleville dam, if somewhat odd. I saw nothing at all until after 7 PM, and after last night (see below) I was thinking of calling it a night. But a flock of 25 materialized almost over my head, going south, unseen until very close because they were very high, more like a flight of Broadwings. Then for another 10 minutes or so I saw nothing. But on the other side of the lake there were suddenly birds all over the sky, again very high, and going north! This was a much larger flock - I counted 61 but that's a serious undercount because a lot had gone by before I found them. And again another 10 minutes later another flock going north, this time, 76. Undercounted again. And finally a few minutes later another 12. The overall total was 149, and I left out the initial 25 because I feel they might have joined or been a part of one of the other flocks. Unlike other nights, no small groups or singles at all, and these birds were at least twice as high and any I saw on previous nights. Last night, Friday, 8/26. I headed over to Eagleville, but as I was going south through Coventry on Rt 31 I saw a total of 11 nighthawks, most right at the top of the hill between the town hall and the fire station. I continued on to Eagleville and saw a total of 5 birds and left early. Seems there's no telling where and in what numbers they will be seen. Not to mention the south-north low-high flight conundrum.
