For a bird I usual don't see too often, I've seen a bunch recently. I saw one hunting a week or so ago at Crofton Park, saw 3 hunting over the Baysox game Saturday Night (5/18), and then the one today. According to the lady behind me at the baseball game, the nighthawks hunt over the stadium and around the lights on many nights. They are exciting birds to see in action!
