> 9/4. Stratford home. I was delighted to tally 30 migrating COMMON NIGHTHAWKS this evening, from our back deck (which has a rather limited view of the sky due to numerous shade trees). The first was seen about 6:15pm, with additional singles thereafter, followed by a flurry from 7:10 - 7:30. All were flying west to southwest. I also counted 27 Chimney Swifts.

> I had the Western Kingbird around 7pm in the same general area as previously reported. It was hawking from a stand of 3 dead trees at the edge of the frog pond just beyond where Aaron had seen it. Nice looks for 5 or so minutes. Associating loosely with a trio of Eastern Phoebe. Worth noting a first fall Magnolia Warbler was foraging on the ground just before the swamp on the way in. Possible Olive-sided Flycatcher close to the beaver lodge in the dead trees, but it was poor lighting so I couldn?t confirm.

> Aaron Bourque?s directions were good and quite helpful. I followed the coordinates he gave in his original post and that led me to the correct gate off Ravenelle Road. From there it is a short walk to the paved road. Take a right at that road and then a left onto a small dirt path just beyond a fallen tree. That path leads to the edge of the field. Look for the lattice blind. Just beyond that is a small tree line. The kingbird has been pretty actively flycatching from that area.

> As you walk along the edge of the field, you?ll pass a small wet area just to your left. If I?m reading the reports correctly I believe the king bird was there as well yesterday. There are other interesting birds in the area; it seems like it might be a decent migration day today.

> I?ve not tallied the numbers yet but 1200++ warblers during morning flight, with good numbers of flycatchers, tanagers, grosbeaks, vireos, etc too. At least 22 warbler species - I?m probably missing a couple. Best birds (so far) are Connecticut warbler and 2 yellow-bellied flycatchers.
