Re: [Ontbirds] Common Nighthawks at Ruthven National Historic Site

[Earthquest Canada via ONTBIRDS]

Greetings all:


While conducting vegetation surveys I spotted 11 Nighthawks foraging over 
Ruthven around 4:30 pm today.  They were traveling in a group heading east over 
the Grand River.


To get to Ruthven take Highway #3 to Cayuga.   Turn north onto Highway #54 and 
continue driving several kilometers to the entrance of Ruthven.  Turn left and 
drive to the parking lot at the back.  There is a bird banding station run by 
Rick Ludkin of Haldimand Bird Observatory as well.


Good birding,

[Ontbirds] Common Nighthawks in Toronto's High Park

[Emily Rondel via ONTBIRDS]

For the last week, I have been monitoring the Common Nighthawk migration
over High Park with the help of a few wonderful volunteers. We have had
decent numbers of Common Nighthawks every night, with a maximum observed
number of 250 on Thursday the 21st. Our smallest count was just 35
individuals on August 18th. Also observed are good nightly numbers of
Chimney Swifts, Barn Swallows etc.

This Monday the 25th of August, Bird Studies Canada and the High Park
Nature Centre will be hosting an open Nighthawk monitoring night.  Everyone
is welcome to join us on Hawk Hill in High Park, just north of the
Grenadier Restaurant parking lot. We'll begin around 6:00 pm. Bring a lawn
chair if you have one!

Inquiries can be directed to eron...@birdscanada.org

[Ontbirds] Common Nighthawks - Carleton Place

[Michael Jaques]

Hi,

This evening we had a loose flock of 20, maybe 24, Common Nighthawks over 
Carleton Place.  At 7.30 they were moving south from the centre of town over 
Napoleon and Sarah Streets.  Then they seemed to head back into town before 
heading southwest about 15 minutes later.

Carleton Place is off Highway 7, about 40 kms west of Ottawa.

[Colin Griffiths]

Tonight, 17th August, while watching a Swift roost, several Nighthawks flew 
over south-west towards Presqu'ile.  There was a simultaneous Barn Swallow 
passage so the birds were likely moving through.  5 sightings in total, within 
an hour.

[Ontbirds] Common Nighthawks in north Toronto

[Ian Cannell]

Actually in Concord, but who knows where that is?  For the past three nights
nighthawks have been doing their aerial acrobatics over our house just west
of Dufferin Street, two blocks north of Steeles. 

This is a typical event here at this time each year and as usual the birds
show up between about 6:45pm and 8pm.

Really this is just a reminder to look out for this species now.

[Joyce Collier-Brown]

8:50 pm today - I was reading on the deck when a strange peent  
peent finally penetrated my consciousness... I looked up in time to  
see two Common Nighthawks at altitude, heading north.  There may have  
been one or two more, judging from the calls.


My house is near the intersection of Yonge St. and the 401, in Toronto.

here.

[Ontbirds] Common Nighthawks over North Toronto

[Marg and Ian Sturdee]

Although numbers are small compared to Glenn Coady's 628 observed on Aug 30, 
2008 between 5:45 and 8:30, 117 migrating Common Nighthawks were observed 
from 7:40 to 8:30 PM tonight, Tuesday Aug 31, 2010.


They were flying south to south-west and were observed from the balcony of 
my 6th floor condo which faces north-east near Lawrence and Avenue road in 
North Toronto.


7:40 to 7:5064
7:50 to 8:00 9
8:00 to 8:1035
8:10 to 8:20 9
8:20 to 8:30 0

Two additional Common Nighthawks were observed and did not appear to be 
migrating (they moved north-east).


Rock Pigeons and European Starlings flew through during this time period- 
nighthawks were separated from these and other birds because of their 
erratic flight pattern and their shape.


---Ian Sturdee

Lawrence Avenue and Avenue Road in Toronto is about 1 km south of the 
intersection of highway 401 and Avenue Road. Aven ue Road is the next major 
intersection west of Yonge Street.

[Ontbirds]Common Nighthawks London

[E. Smout]

Hi All

Much to my surprise around 7pm tonight I had over 15 Common Nighthawks at the 
corner of Richmond and Oxford. They were over the north side of Oxford between 
Sydenham St. moving east.  It was difficult to count them because of the dusk 
but at one point I counted 18.

I haven't seen that many Nighthawks in London in a long time, it was great.  
Too much traffic to hear them beeping which was a bummer.

Good Birding

[Ontbirds]Common Nighthawks - Oakville

[Clark, Ian (Wood Gundy IA)]

Last night at about 7pm about 30-40 Common Nighthawks were hawking for insects 
in Oakville near the 16 Mile Creek.  They were all about 50-250 feet above the 
16th fairway at Glen Abbey golf club.  It was an incredible display of 
acrobatic flying and the birds were there for 20 minutes while I observed them 
until I had to leave.

[Ontbirds]Common Nighthawks - London

[John Luke Wheatley]

Monday night I enjoyed the erratic flight of a foraging flock of at least 20 
common nighthawks over Chesham Park in Northwest London.  They began around 
6:30, and slowly moved to the Southeast around 7:30.  It was my first 
experience with nighthawks in flight, and it was thoroughly enjoyable.

Chesham Park is in Northwest London,  South of Sarnia Rd. between Western and 
Wonderland roads.  Take Castlegrove blvd. South from Sarnia Rd.  There is a 
large parking lot on the North side.

Good Birding

[Ontbirds]Common Nighthawks near Kingston

[Paul Mackenzie]

August 26 from 7.00 - 7.30 pm a large congregation of Common 
Nighthawks at the Howe Island ferry crossing just west of Kingston 
(south end of Joyceville Road) ; moving west some possibly crossing 
to Wolfe island; I counted 96 and surely missed many in the largest 
scattered flock, and then counted an additional 40 in groups of 2-5 
as I drove east on Howe Island and they (and many monarchs) were moving west.

[Ontbirds]Common Nighthawks in Toronto

[Jay Peterson]

Hello ontbirders,

I have seen few reports of Common Nighthawks this year and had little luck 
myself when travelling around. In Toronto, it took about two weeks later 
than usual, but I am finally hearing on a consistent basis, Nighthawks 
calling from College street and McCaul (one block west of University 
avenue). I have heard them calling as well in the Dundas and Sherbourne area 
(though I run through that area at night). Also by my house near Sherbourne 
and Wellesley street East. So, those wanting this bird as an annual lister 
can be sure there are some nesting downtown. I have Chimney Swifts outside 
here at Sherbourne and Wellesley every night as well, and a Peregrine Falcon 
making rounds every day from the top of the nearby white apartment building 
on Homewood Avenue. Any questions, please feel free to e-mail me privately.


Good birding,

Jay Peterson
