Not a great day of birding, but I did manage to add another life bird. About
7:45 this evening I heard a racket coming from outside the house. I went out
to check out what it was and there was a tree full of blackbirds, grackles,
and starlings. Flocks of birds were coming over for 20 mins non stop. The
mixed flocks were heading east. At the same time small flocks of Swifts were
heading west. A medium sized flock (15) of Nighthawks were seen heading
southwest
Not having a my binocs I had to drive into Danville to get them out of my
girlfriends car, by the time I returned the flocks had passed with the
exception of a few straglers.
Here is what was seen at a few spots.
