Subject: Re: Page Springs Lesser Nighthawk
I was present for the 3-nighthawk show Friday, Sept 24, at the bridge
below the dam north of Page Springs c.g. At first the birds were VERY
distant. As they got closer we could see 3 in the same binocular view.
They were high in the sunlight while we were in the shadow of the ridge
west of us.
My impression was that one bird was not like the other two. Two birds
showed warm brown-amber underwings, with perhaps rounded wingtips. The
other bird showed a more black-and-white underwing and a very sharply
pointed wingtip. Eventually they flew right over us, quite high, and
disappeared upriver. As they passed I could only see one bird in a
binocular view, not a comparative view of 2 birds.
I'll be looking Sat night.
