I heard a nighthawk in Clintonville last week. It's nice to hear they are back in Columbus in full force. I suspect they are nesting on some of the buildings on OSU campus. I've often heard and seen them flying around Kottman Hall, which does have a gravel roof. Occasional checks haven't turned up anything, but a more thorough survey of the buildings would likely turn up a few nests.
