Nighthawk Migration in New Hampshire. — One of the most interest- 
ing regular migration movements that'has come under m; notice I have 
observed at Lake Pasquaney, Bridgewater, N. H., for the past three years. 
On August 25, 1900, Mr. G. M. Allen noted in the records of Camp” Pas- 
quaney twelve Nighthawks ( Chordeiles virginianus')\ the most seen on any 
date that summer. In 1901, on August 22 and 23, I recorded a large flock, 
over twenty-five birds each day, passing at sundown slowly to the South- 
west over the lake. On August 22, 1902, at dusk, a flock of fully three 
hundred were seen migrating in the same direction. Again this year, on 
August 22, 1903, in the forenoon, nearly a hundred birds were noted 
passing over to the southwest. 1 hus for four years a definite migratory 
movement of these birds in considerable numbers has been observed 
between August 21 and 25. This migration has been noticed in Saco 
Valley, and I take it the birds passing over Pasquaney are stragglers from 
the Pemigewasset Valley migration, which occurs regularly.— Reginald
