About 5 PM this evening I was walking the road to McNally Landing in Winona, when I heard a good deal of clatter. I looked up, and noticed a fairly conspicuous Common Nighthawk roosting on a branch over the road. For a good minute or two I heard chatter, and noticed near the nighthawk:
2 Eastern Bluebirds 1 Eastern Phoebe 1 Downy Woodpecker 1 Magnolia Warbler A car then drove under the branch, and the nighthawk flew north. The other birds disappeared and wouldn't reappear to my pishing. I've never seen birds harrass a nightjar before (I would have been more appreciative if the birds were calling my attention to a Chuck-Will's-Widow, heh, heh).
