I am continuing to see nighthawks on a regular basis in Shady Valley.  As I do 
not live in the valley itself but up a hollow, I get the opportunity only when 
spending some time in the more open "lowlands".  Last week I observed 6-8 of 
them at the junction of Griffin Hollow Rd. and Hwy 133 over a hay field.  And, 
while driving, several individuals in the Crandull community over open fields 
near Beaverdam Creek.

Separately, I observed a barred owl fly across Johnson Hollow Rd and land in a 
tree bordering the road.  Excellent, if brief, view as I drove by.  I hear the 
barred owls regularly but seldom see them.
