To continue the nighthawk discussion, we've had all the normal nighthawks in downtown Fairborn this year. Also, there is a nighthawk that roosts on the utility wires above the intersection of New Germany Trebein Road and North Fairfield Road in Beavercreek. He's guaranteed to be there every summer day, sleeping peacefully as thousands of motorists pass under him oblivious to his presence. I saw him there yesterday in the midst of a severe thunderstorm. If you need a nighthawk fix and live near Dayton, he'll be there until he heads south. This bird has been there for at least the last five or six summers. Presuming he's the same bird, he's living a long life. I'm always thrilled to see him return each year.
