Cobirders, On Sunday evening (7/10) at 6:45 pm I had about 50-75 common nighthawks fly over my house and neighborhood on the north side of Milner mountain, southwest of Fort Collins. They pased by within 5 minutes and were essentially heading straight south. Since their arrival in late May, I've only ever had 1-2 on any given evening in my neck of the woods.
Yesterday (7/11), I had 13 common nighthawks zoom low directly over my house at 6:20 pm (even one at eye-level), again heading straight south, and were not seen again. Seems early for the southbound migrants, but perhaps they had some massive breeding failure up north and figured life is better in the Amazon. best, Arvind Panjabi Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory 5700' feet, Larimer County, CO On the north slope of Milner Mtn Mountain mahogany shrubland and grassland -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
