About 6:12 PM this evening, 5 Common Nighthawks flew northward over the cove on the Vermont side of the Connecticut River south of the Ledyard Bridge, which links Norwich, VT, and Hanover, NH. Later, about 7:00 PM, 2 nighthawks appeared above the cove and flew off in a southward direction. All nighthawks seen this evening were flying over Norwich but not many yards west of the NH -VT border. Other aerial insectivore birds around the Ledyard Bridge area this evening included an Eastern Phoebe, at least one Eastern Kingbird, and at least 7 Cedar Waxwings. No swifts or swallows were seen. At least two Baltimore Orioles were present, and occasional short bits of oriole song were heard. George Clark Norwich, VT
