Tonight was the night. I must have seen 100 or more of these beautiful birds, twirling and swooping across the sky, wave after wave.
I just wish I could have gotten a picture that captures the experience, instead of these of specks, that I'm publishing nevertheless, to mark the occasion.

What an interesting sight Pamela, and an interesting link, the bird looks much like our nightjars.
Yes, apparently there are closely related species almost everywhere. Nightjar, goatsucker, and other names came with settlers from Europe. There's a great post about the whole family over at Rigor Vitae: Glorious Goatsuckers.
I am looking forward to seeing nighthawks again.
