Canoe/Kayak Trip for Nighthawks Along the Quaboag River

We only saw 6 nighthawks, they seemed to be just circling around and not moving anywhere.  We also had some flocks of blackbirds, mostly grackles, some swamp sparrows, 3 Herons, a snapping turtle, and a couple of Cedar waxwings. Our best sighting of the evening was 2 American Bitterns one behind the other flying across the river right in front of us.
