They were flying lower (about 30 ft above my car) than I have ever seen them here in MD, the only other place I have seen them feeding this low was in Florida during the winter. ********************** Frank Boyle Laurel, MD ravenfrank@earthlink.net ********************** -----Original Message----- From: Maryland Birds & Birding [mailto:MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM] On Behalf Of Mike Callahan Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 10:55 PM To: MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM Subject: Re: [MDOSPREY] Common Nighthawks moving with August 29 storm On Tue, 2 Sep 2003 09:46:12 -0400 Jeff Shenot writes: > In reply (late) to Don Simonson'e email from last Friday: "A flock of > 26 COMMON NIGHTHAWKS passed over Darnestown, Mont.
