@nadineawright: Common Nighthawks moving through Pipestave Hill in West Newbury on the historic night of August 25th — 1,200+ counted, a new single-night record for Essex County. Peak migration runs through the 28th, with birds working the sky for insects before heading south. Watch for that bold white wing-band, set closer to the wingtip than on an Eastern Whip-poor-will. 📷 Nikon Z6III + Nikon Z 600mm f/6.3 #CommonNighthawk #BirdMigration #EssexCountyBirding
