At 6:20 this evening, right after I pulled into the driveway and got out
of the car, I noticed the erratic flight and pointy wings of a
dark-colored bird over the house and knew right away what it was. I also
knew it was really late in the season for one, so I grabbed the closest
pair of binocs I had (there were two in the car) as quickly as I could
as the bird flew back and forth, trending south. The nighthawk was up
fairly high, but I could make out a bit of white toward the ends of the
wings before it was gone.
