I was driving back from Dayton on 35 this evening and had a flock of 11 nighthawks feeding together over a patch of trees, then within the next 5 miles or so I counted no less than 49 nighthawks feeding over agricultural fields and ponds beside the road, which made for easy counting. I agree that the storms moving through seem to be getting them up and moving.
