[Bristol-Birds] Riders on the storm

Driving home around 6 pm on Hwy 107 in Washington Co. Wed 10 SEP 2008, I was watching storm clouds ahead of me when I spotted many Common Nighthawks flying southeastward. I stopped near Thompson Lane and counted as fast as I could, getting to 150 as they disappeared over the mountain. The rain started just as they finished passing over. I don't know how many passed over before I began.
