Unfortunately safe dates for Common = Nighthawk ended on July 15. =20 Cheers,=20 Rob Hilton bethesda, md rhilton@csa.com ++++++++ Subject: Unexpected DC downtown From: Denise Ryan Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2002 16:01:50 -0400 Last night at 10:00 p.m. at the corner of 20th and L St. N.W. there was = a Common Nighthawk calling. This is the corner of my office building and = the first time I have heard a Nighthawk, however I usually don't work that = late. There certainly aren't any really bright lights like around the Capitol building to draw them in to the area. The bird called for a good 5 min. at least before I left. I declined trying to find it as I would have made a good mugging target. Anyway, = it was a great way to end the day on an up note. Rob, I am guessing this is an Atlas tic for someone. Cheers!
