Species Account:
I saw a COMMON NIGHTHAWK foraging overhead during a several hour period near my house this afternoon. (like the other recent report, this seems to be getting late for this species). I also noticed the first wooly aphid (aka "blue butts") swarms of the season which are probably proividing good pickings for aerial insectivores. This is one of the times the local STARLINGS hone their aerial foraging skills which is very strange to see. They look very much like Cedar Waxwings, kind of clunky hunting insects on the wing. But it must be worth it!
