At the Orioles game tonight, I saw one Common Nighthawk. It did one slow circle over Camden Yards and then was gone. Just about made up for the O's losing a close game.
On the way home, passing through downtown DC, I saw at least two distant birds in the lights near the top of the Washington Monument--though I didn't see them well, by the flight style and process of elimination, I'm nearly certain it was another two nighthawks.
