In the past we heard them occasionally after a Neptune or a symphony performance and quite regularly in the evening around home in Clayton Park. But not for the past 3-4 years. Aerial insectivores are being particularly hard hit recently for a number of reasons, I suspect. Cheers, Bob McDonald ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Bartlett To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Sent: Sunday, June 28, 2009 2:30 PM Subject: [NatureNS] Halifax nighthawk(s) Last night between about midnight and 1 a.m. in West End Halifax I heard a nighthawk (or nighthawks?) peent-ing many times high in the darkness. Are Nova Scotian nighthawks mostly still heard in rural areas, or are they now more common than they used to be in cities & towns?
