Thought Carolina birders might find this of interest.

>> Hi Everyone
>> I am writing to thank all the people who volunteered to help
>> with Project Nighthawk. We officially launch the project this
>> Sunday evening Aug. 15, 1999. We have assembled quite a
>> group. From New York to California we have 32 watchsites in
>> 16 states. We certainly should learn something about the
>> migration of the Common Nighthawk. Since there are so many
>> sites I am asking people to concentrate on just counting
>> Common Nighthawk, Osprey, and any Eagles for the first year.
>> If you feel we should add additional species please note that on
>> your forms or in your email response's.
>> When describing your location please record your state
>> and closest town to your site. Also the habitat, such as lake side,
>> river side, field etc. This will help us determine if they are
>> following waterways. 26 of our sites have email. If you have
>> what you feel is a large number of Nighthawks at your site some
>> evening feel free to email me with the date and count. Then I can
>> forward your count to the group and possibly help someone who is
>> watching south of you know the birds are heading thei way. Have fun,
>> and be safe. Remember we are all volunteers and nobody is getting paid
>> to do any of this study, including me. Even if you miss some nights in
>the
>> study period, please still send me the data for ANY nights that you do
>> watch.
>> Any evening that you watch is important to our study.
>> Thanks, Ron
