From Twan Leenders: 08/22/09 - Torrington -- After the last belt of rain came through at about 5PM, 100s of Common Nighthawks were hawking insects below the low cloud cover over downtown. The birds break up into smaller flocks at times and groups of nighthawks are moving back and forth over the Naugatuck River (Rt 4) corridor, occasionally circling in place in large clouds. I stopped a few times while running errands and got actual counts of the smaller "sub" flocks. I counted 120, 185 & 245 on three separate occasions and with each count at least one additional flock of similar or slightly smaller size was visible a few blocks away. I'm estimating between 300-500 birds total. They were still present when I got home, around 7 PM. From Brian Hiller: 08/22/09 - Manchester, Silver Lane, where it goes over I-384 -- 7:15 pm, estimated flock of 100+ Common Nighthawks. A second group of approximately 60-70 were seen about a mile down I-384. Route 6 toward Willimantic, between Bolton and Columbia -- 13 more Common Nighthawks in three different small groups. Willimantic, Eastern CT State University -- 86 additional Common Nighthawks passed overhead moving from the southeast toward the northwest.
