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.
