All:

It's good to see that Common Nighthawks recently on the move, right on schedule
for the usual peak of movement here from late July through mid-August. For a
few years numbers of migrants here seemed to be down. Numbers breeding here and
throughout N. America certainly are decreasing - they're about 1/6 as common
here now as in the mid 1960s (BBS) - so the good shows this summer may simply
reflect a temporary shift in migration path occasioned by weather patterns.

Cheers, Ian McLaren
