Several common nighthawks flew over our back meadow here in Rohrersville
last night.

Subject: [MDOSPREY] nighthawks and swifts over Bethesda
Last night, at about 6 p.m., I was surprised to see up to six common
nighthawks sweep back and forth overhead, mixed with up to 20 chimney
swifts. I think this is the latest I've seen nighthawks in this area.
The Yellow Book, however, has them as scarce but steady (the thinnest
continuous line) through about the first week of October.
