On the way home from Orangeville around 5:00 p.m. today, I observed a small group of Common Nighthawks actively insect-hawking above Hwy. 9 in the westernmost section of the Holland Marsh vegetable fields. This is west of Hwy. 400, close to where Canal Road finishes its long east-west arc and finally bends southward to meet Hwy. 9. There were 4 birds hunting together. This species is becoming harder and harder to find in many parts of the province, so catching them in migration is a bit of a treat.
