[Bristol-Birds] Re: Nighthawk migration beginning

The migration of Common Nighthawks also kicked in with a vengeance at my home 
on Simerly Creek Road, Hampton, Carter Co., this evening (Mon. Aug. 25).

I watched 100+ Nighthawks as they swept back and forth along the center of 
the valley, back and forth, east to west.

At one point, I saw a very small "bird" with the flock. A closer look 
revealed not a bird, but a bat. Sorry, but I'm not at all expert on bats, so it 
will 
just have to go down as bat species.

All in all, it was a very impressive flight of nighthawks.

In addition, saw several Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and a couple of Cedar 
Waxwings.

No warblers today, but on Sunday, I had a male and female Hooded Warbler 
together in a locust tree.
