Nighthawks & Nighthawks & Nighthawks - Arapahoe

[Jared Del Rosso]

With nightjars, there's a thin line between faith and stubbornness.

Tonight, I was rewarded by whatever we want to call my ritual of looking at the darkening and too often empty sky during the last week of May and the first of June. Eight Common Nighthawks flew over, a good number for spring migration. 

The first seven were in three groups (3 - 2 - 2) and flew moderately low and moderately directly northwest.

The eighth hung around over my west Centennial house, flying low loops, roughly at the level of the bats (Big Brown Bats, presumably?).
