The larid flycatching is due to the annual emergence of Anax dragonflies across southern Wisconsin- here's the radar of this large and dense swarm from this afternoon- http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/radar/displayRad.php?icao=KMKX&prod=bref1&bkgr=black&endDate=20110825&endTime=16&duration=0 Note how the NW wind has pushed some dragonflies way out into the Lake.

Fun to watch, like they are playing some game. No Nighthawks. Darn! Go birding, be happy!
