> About 1 pm this afternoon I counted 14 COMMON NIGHTHAWKS along the 101 
> just east of Windsor, between the km 175-177 markers.  They were not 
> trending in any particular direction, just milling about.  There is a lot 
> of clear cut forest along this stretch, so they may have been local birds 
> getting together prior to migrating.  I found two juveniles perched on a 
> boulder near Aylesford Lake this morning, just barely able to fly.  Also 
> had a TURKEY VULTURE over the 101 at exit 10 near Grand Pre.
