Subject: Nighthawks
Only had 3 common nighthawks last night but was excited to a bat.
Tonight's forecast called for a thunderstorm to come our way from the NE,
so we started looking ahead of the storm.
We started at 6:30. The black cloud approached. We saw a prairie warbler in
our birch tree. Then, ahead of the storm we counted 20 nighthawks, 2
chimney swifts, 2 red tails and 22 turkey vultures. All were moving away
from the coming weather. The rain, thunder & lightning showed up at 7 and
was pretty well finished by 7:30.
