Nighthawks

Common Nighthawk, Chordeiles minor
On April 21st I noticed four Common Nighthawks flying under the street lamps.  These are the first Nighthawks I've seen this year.  Like me, they are only active when its warm and buggy outside.. but unlike them I don't get to winter in the tropics.  It's great to have them back.  Soon there will be dozens of them around each street lamp.  Life is easy for urban nighthawks.
