[TN-Bird] Divebombed by Nighthawks

We ate dinner in Overton Square in midtown Memphis. It was well
after dark. Nine o'clock, I'd say. We came out of the restaurant and
looked up. The parking lot was being divebombed by dozens of Common
Nighthawks ( Cordeiles minor ). The lights in the parking lot were
attracting swarms of insects. And these acrobats were having an
aerial feast. Unmistakable white wing bars. It was a nice surprise.
