Something about tonight’s conditions was not to the liking of nighthawks. Possibly the wind directly out of the West was a factor. We ended up with only 50 birds with the first
showing up at 6:00 followed by mostly singles till 7:30. It was more of a raptor night with 6 Turkey Vultures, 8 Broadwings, 3 Redtails, a Bald Eagle,2 Sharpies, a Kestrel & a Peregrine.
Tomorrow the wind is predicted to shift from W to NW which hopefully stimulate a flight.
