Nighthawk Night Walk and Volunteer Training
Place: Keene State College, Science Center, Room 101, Keene, NH
Price: Free
Ages: Older
The
dusk and dawn “peent” call of the Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor)
was once a familiar sound in cities and towns throughout New Hampshire,
where they nested on flat, peastone gravel roofs, and fed on insects
attracted to city lights. In recent years nesting nighthawks have
disappeared from many New Hampshire towns. In the few places where they
remain (including Keene!), their numbers have dramatically declined.
In partnership with New
Hampshire Audubon, the Harris Center’s Citizen Science Program is once
again coordinating volunteer nighthawk surveys on summer evenings in
Keene. Come to the training to become a Project Nighthawk Volunteer, or
simply to learn more about this charismatic endangered bird. We’ll begin
indoors at the Keene State College Science Center (Room 101) at 7 p.m.,
then venture outside to look and listen for nighthawks in the twilight
sky. Cosponsored with New Hampshire Audubon, and the Keene State
College School of Sciences. Done about 8:30 p.m.
