The last of the nighthawks...and some nice migration

Common Nighthawk, Belchertown, MA, Sep 9, 2011
Yesterday I still had at least three Common Nighthawks at the house feeding during the evening but had none today.  As September moves along the nighthawks will disappear until next spring.  Replacing the nighthawks will be a wide variety of migrants.  I came across some nice groups of them today while I explored central Quabbin.  Some movement of hawks was noted as well as several mixed species flocks that included some really nice birds giving great views.
