[va-bird] Nighthawks in Arlington, Long Branch Nature Ctr

Tonight at 7:43 PM at Long Branch Nature Center in Arlington I heard a  
familiar buzz. My view of the sky was obstructed, but I saw four and later 
seven  
Common Nighthawks up there doing their thing, plus more later. My guess is that 
 at least a dozen were out there in the immediate area over the next 15 
minutes.  Also, it was a nice sunset with delicate colors on high cirrus 
clouds. 
This was  my first hearing/sighting of CONIs this fall season here. Cheers,

Community Hospital, off S. Carlin Springs  Road)
