Wednesday evening at dusk, just south of where Denise was, I saw at least five nighthawks flying and feeding over the Montrose shopping district while driving on Medina Road/Market Street/Route 18.  I'm sure I could have counted more, but my son begged me to keep my eyes on the road.  This was my first sighting of nighthawks in 2007.

Wednesday evening at dusk while driving on I-77 between Independence and the Bath area of Akron, I counted over 30 nighthawks flying considerably lower than usual doing their normal bug feasting dives.  They were peppered fairly evenly along I-77.  Hmmm...never thought of I-77 as a riparian corridor...but then again, we have had flooding. :)

"Look at the birds..."  Matthew 6:26
   
    I look at the birds because I believe they will carry the messages of my heart upward to our Creator.   I look at them because I believe in their existence, the way their songs begin and end each day-the invocations and the benedictions to God Himself.  I look to the birds because they remind me of what I love rather than what I fear.  And that God's eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me!
