  Nighthawkers:

I went back over the past 7 years of my Common Nighthawk data from my watchsite at Van Dyke Park, Fairfax City, VA to compare the date I started the watch with the date I first recorded nighthawks with the following results:

                   1999-2000-2001-2002-2003-2004-2005
First Watch   8-18  8-13  8-15  8-15  8-15  8-16  8-14
First Seen      8-19  8-14  8-15  8-20  8-15  8-16  8-17

For the most part I saw nighthawks within 2 days of starting to watch. The strange year was 2002 when they seem to be late, but numerically it was still one of my better years.
