Description

Biologists are trying to determine the reason for a drastic decline in the Common Nighthawk population in NH. Help this cause by spending some summer evenings searching the twilight sky for them in the few NH towns where they still breed. Trainings are held in Keene and Concord.

Nighthawk monitoring in Keene, NH is coordinated by the Ashuelot Valley Environmental Observatory:

Nighthawk Project: Keene, NH

Nighthawk monitoring in Concord and other NH locations is coordinated by NH Audubon:
