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. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
