Over the week-end a flock of at least a dozen, likely more, Common Nighthawks that were migrating through stopped over to feed with many flying close over my home, flying around and around for about 45 minutes. They were not very high so I got photos showing field marks and identifiable by gender that I have uploaded to my B
irds and Nature blog. Two weeks ago a similarly large (relative to what I see here anymore) migrating flock stopped over to feed along the Arkansas River as it runs through Canon City.
