Betty Edmondson, Abingdon, called me to report that she had seen a Common Nighthawk in flight near Seven Mile Ford, VA, late in the day on December 31. Betty, a regular participant in the Glade Spring CBC and experienced birder, observed the bird flying and was able to see the bird at a relatively close distance. Since this was in the Glade Spring CBC area, this bird will be included in the count as a "count week" bird (cw). She also found 2 Wilson's Snipe and a Barn Owl near Emory. The Snipe will also be included in the count week. Ron Harrington Compiler, Glade Spring CBC
