Just posting my addition to the massive numbers of Nighthawks out and about
right now...while in Columbus on Sunday, my wife and i spotted several while
driving along 315 and 670.  Then last night while biking i got several
EXCELLENT views of the nighthawks feeding at the cemetery on the hill
(behind Kmart) in Englewood.  Happy Birding.

"We need another and a wiser, and perhaps a more mystical concept of
animals.  Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice,
man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge
and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion.  We
patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having
taken a form so far below ourselves.  And therein we err, and greatly
err.  For the animal shall not be measured by man.  In a world older and
more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with
extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we
shall never hear.  They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are
other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow
prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth."
-Outermost House by Henry Beston-
