Hello Jamie and Twetters,

I have several records in the field notes database of large groups of
Nighthawks from the Puget Lowlands in August (data since 1993);

40+ Whidbey Island, Island 8/24/96
60+ Kamilche, Mason 8/6/97
25 Shelton, Mason 8/3/97

I would guess that these represent early migrantion movements.
