I counted 171 Common Nighthawks over my house near Washburn from 7:40-8:25 pm 
last evening.  All were heading east toward the lakeshore on southwesterly 
winds.  But best of all was a Merlin that was hunting bats at dusk!  It made 
several unsuccessful stoops/passes before it got too dark that I couldn't see 
well enough.
