Bristol Area Birders, This evening I decided to see if any Common Nighthawks were passing through our area, so from about 7:20 to 8:20 (darkness) I was on watch from my front yard. I had just started when I had a flock of 9. A few minutes later three more flew by. By the time darkness fell I had counted 48. In the next few weeks I'm hoping for a huge flock.
