From 4 to 4:45 pm then from 5:30-6:30 pm I saw the following at the abbey:
3 Black Vultures
10 Turkey Vultures
8 Broad-winged Hawks
2 Red-tailed Hawks
1 American Kestrel
43 Nighthawks
30 Chimney Swifts

There was a Ruby-thr. Hummingbird which chased and attacked one of the 
Nighthawks for several minutes. Also I heard a Barred Owl in the woods below 
the abbey.
