It was Amazing!!!  It was dusk last Friday.  At first I thought I saw a 
Cooper Hawk...But, wait...there he is again...and again...wait...there's 6 
of them...no...a dozen...wait...they are everywhere.

Chimney Swifts?  No...too big...and they don't flap their wings.  Purple 
Martin?...nope...tail is too long.

Noticed the white band under the wings.  Rushed to my newly 
purchased "Crossley ID Guide" and without a doubt, there it was.  "Common 
Nighthawk"

My neighborhood (same, general, location of the other posters) was being 
bombarded by a large flock(?) of Common Nighthawks.

Very, very, "cool" to watch.
