For those people who haven't been there before: the location where
I see nighthawks it the Cable & Wireless building at Gallows Rd and Boone
Blvd near Route 7. There are two pyramid shaped roofs that are illuminated
from about 8:30 pm to 10:00 pm You can pull into the parking lot to watch.
They are also over Fairfax Square a little to the NE. Its darker here and
the nighthawks are little harder to see. If you walk to the east side of
the building along Aline Ave you can get a better view for seeing all the
birds present.
The best time is probably around 9 PM before the birds start moving
higher. There is no guarantee they will be there are any given night
although my record so far is 16 of 17 times I have watched I have seen them.
