5/30 Common Nighthawks over the Longwood Mall in Brookline

[Paul Peterson]

I watched a Common Nighthawk repeatedly diving and coming up again from 7:55-8:30. Then, another one joined in briefly at 8:30. This mall of historic European Beeches is bound by Hawes, Kent, Chatham and Beech Roads. There is a pair of nesting Cooper's Hawks in one of these grand, old beeches. This place is approximately midway between the D Line Longwood Station and Hall's Pond. It is not far from Coolidge corner, which is the place where I usually see (or at least hear) Common Nighthawk
