After having the good fortune of seeing a Common Nighthawk fly over the minute I looked up upon exiting the subway at 211th and Broadway at about 5:30 this evening, I decided to try my luck and look for more from the soccer field in Inwood Hill Park. James Knox joined me- and success! Three appeared to be migrating in a northeasterly direction, while one appeared to be headed due west roughly between 6:30 and 7:00. This was by far the most I've seen from one location in New York County. And it goes without saying, just a joy to see. Also of note, one late migrating Osprey and one Spotted Sandpiper on the lagoon.
Keep'em up!
