We were there once and the hill (say across the street above town) was just full of them. On the way towards New Liskeard there were 100's back and forth across the road. We left just before dark.
Ron, Nighthawks, that's their name but they are not related to the hawk family. They are included into the Whip-poor-will group. You usually see them just before dark feeding on insects. They are dark coloured with pointed wings with a white wing patch. Fairly commorn up here.
End of August and the fall colours are starting all ready. This was taken near the Notch Dam at Duncan lake .
Bill, have the nighthawks left the area?
