One of my favorite spots on our small plot of land is the far southwest corner,
where I can stand and see distant horizon, from a compass heading of about
105°, just south of east, around the south and to about 330°, northwest. A few
minutes ago, I started a scope pass of the horizon, in the east, then swung
that 225°, counting Nighthawks as I went. I’d guess it took about two minutes,
and I ended with 39. There were others overhead as I did this. I’m guessing
there were at least 55 in view, if I’d had another set of eyes.
The breeze is unfavorable, pretty stiff at times, coming from the southeast.
Many of them are flying directly into it.
