Last fall John Turner and I discussed how interesting it would be to hold a 
Nighthawk count west of the Stone Bridge count to see if there were 
similarities or not.

Keeping this in mind I was able to get out for three days this weekend to see 
what might be flying around northeastern Queens.  I conducted counts on three 
evenings this week as noted below, all from the end of the APEC boardwalk 
overlooking the marsh.  Last night's results were better, although nothing like 
John's results.  Despite starting each night somewhere around 6pm or earlier, 
all birds were seen at 7:09pm or later.
