Per an extensive email exchange a week or two ago, several people have noted
an apparent scarcity of Common Nighthawks, while others have observed them
quite frequently. After the original set of posts I started paying closer
attention to one of my favorite sounds of summer, the nighthawks in the evening.
I've seen them virtually every evening I've been out here in Columbus -
whether it is the Grandview area (around Grandview and 5th) or the Short North
(think High and 3rd through 5th) or further east (think of the buildings and
lights of Easton or of Gahanna).
It makes one wonder if perhaps the earlier dry weather kept the bug
population down, and made for less Nighthawk activity in some areas. But the bugs
seem to be back, and my own experience is that the Nighthawks appear to be
dining in style!

I have been looking all summer in vain, but saw my first Not-so-Common
Nighthawk at 5:45 a.m. today over Riverside Hospital in Columbus.
