Mark Butler just walked into my office wondering where the nighthawk sound
was coming from; I was listening to a sample on my computer. He told me that
he has seen a few nighthawks flying around the lights down by the container
terminal. Perhaps the better weather will be beneficial to them???

Haven't heard any more post-midnight Nighthawks in West End Halifax since
the one I reported two or three weeks ago. But I'll be out late a few nights
in the next week for the Jazz Festival, and will keep ears attuned.

There are several, (I saw three just the other evening,) nighthawks out in
the Herring Cove area, but none in the core of the city that I have heard or
seen.

Hi there,
Jean Hartley and I went for a walk around the Frog Pond in Fleming
Park, Jollimore late this afternoon. Lots of baby birds in evidence. The
best sighting though was of three Common Nighthawks high over the pond, the
first that either of us had seen this year. As Bernard said, as usual they
were heard before they were seen.
Fleming Park is in the southwestern suburbs of Halifax, and I
usually see C. Nighthawks over the Frog Pond several times during the
summer. However I agree with Bob that in the past nighthawks were right in
the city (i.e. on the peninsula) more often than they are now. I used to
hear them overhead on warm evenings when I was sitting out in my garden. I
haven't experienced that lately. (Haven't had any warm summer evenings yet,
either ...)
Cheers,
Patricia L. Chalmers
Halifax

My feeling is that there appears to be fewer Common Nighthawks around in the
city than there were even a few years ago. 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.

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?
Brian
