The weather tonight was perfect for my wife and I to enjoy our wine, while seated in the outdoor area of the restaurant at the Great Rock Public Golf Course in Wading River. This large, terraced, stone patio overlooks the 1st & !8th holes, and especially when the Sun is "fading fast", is a choice spot to end the day.
This evening was made "choicer"for me, when, between the hours of 6:25 - 7:05 PM, a total of 36 C. Nighthawks were "hawking" insects, as they continued to migrate in a westerly direction. This location is less than a 1/4 mile s/o the L.I.Sound, and was part of the general area where Jim Clinton Sr., using different prisms, did his yearly counting of southbound nighthawks.
