I stopped by at "Galeville" (now know as the Shawangunk Grasslands NWR) late this afternoon just because I enjoy the peace, solitude and beauty of the place. At 5:10pm a flight of COMMON NIGHTHAWKS passed through and by actual count there was sixteen(16) of them. The biggest number that I have ever had! Three No. Harriers, three Red-tailed Hawks(one of them very pale in color) and a lovely male American Kestrel, an Eatern Phoebe and a lingering Catbird completed the picture. A place worth checking out any day of the year.
