This evening in the Foley Point area of Norwich by the Ledyard Bridge,  
Doug Hardy and I saw one Common Nighthawk a little after seven and two  
about 15 minutes later. These birds appeared to be foraging as opposed  
to migrating. They came from upstream down to around the bridge and  
flew about over the river and adjacent uplands and eventually  
disappeared while moving away in the upstream direction from which  
they had first appeared.

Highlights among other bird species in that vicinity this evening  
included a Green Heron, 10 Canada Geese, 3 Wood Ducks, and 3 Baltimore  
Orioles.
