I just left the UW Arboretum through the west entrance at 5:30. Over Noe
Woods and the western part of the Curtis Prairie there were 40-50 Common
Nighthawks feeding on a tremendous insect hatch. The setting sun made all
the swirling insects glow. Besides nighthawks there were all the swallows
as well as dragonflies and even a bat. Earlier I saw lots of Cedar Waxwings
and Eastern Kingbirds around the Oak trees and Cottonwoods in or near Curtis
Prairie. I could see many insects there too. Go take a look before
nightfall.
Good birding to all,
