Media notes
Not very close and the recording was marred by an annoying small private plane flying in circles over the site.
Observation details
Already flying high overhead giving twittery calls at about 18:15, shortly after I walked in. Landed a couple of times switching to the nighthawk-like nasal beent song a few times before taking to the air again. Soon disappeared entirely. No evidence of any additional males or females present. I am worried about the local population, though it’s only the start of the display season. Efforts to get recordings just reminded me of the ubiquitous noise pollution from road vehicles, an extremely loud LIRR train, and an irritating small plane circling slowly overhead before descending into EH airport.
