Common Nighthawks

23 July 2017

The last time it rained was 15 July 2017. I had the luxury of seeing seven Common Nighthawks flying around our yards and the cotton field behind us eating bugs at dusk. Beginning 16 July, only two Common Nighthawks have been observed. While their appearance is not typical for this area, especially this time of year, I am convinced their presence this year was tied to heavy rainfalls.

The largest number of Common Nighthawks we have seen to date. Seven were flying and eating at dusk. I did manage to capture four in the same frame.
