Recently there have been several postings reporting large numbers of 
Broad-winged Hawks, while other observers have seen none. I wonder if 
there are specific fly-ways followed by this species (aside from 
locations of the well-known hawk watches) and would like to map their 
occurrence. If those who have seen kettles passing overhead would send 
me off-line the approx geographic coordinates of their home, or whatever 
their observing site, and time of day, I will try to see if a pattern 
emerges. Negative reports from birders who have watched for but seen 
none are equally welcome. In the same way, I would like to receive 
reports - positive or negative - of Common Nighthawks.

If any interesting findings emerge I will post them here.
