[mou] Minneapolis Nighthawk Migration

[eckma001]

There were large numbers of Nighthawks this weekend (August 13-15) on Lake
Superior from Bayfield to Ashland (late afternoon and evening).  They were
feeding right on the water's edge, flying slowly in very tight short
circles.  They seemed compltely unafraid of people and were flying within a
few feet of us.  We also saw a big flock of Cormorants (many hundreds) near
Fish Creek just west of Ashland.
