Who said refilling your bird feeders at night can't be fun.  Around 9:30 tonight 
I had 1 nighthawk called repeatedly from the trees in my yard.  Then a second 
joined, and then a third.  Thought I heard a fourth calling back in the distance.

They must have been perched as I didn't see them flying around and they 
sounded very close.

I haven't been paying close attention to see if they have been seen in good 
numbers yet this year.

Makes me think of Frank Powers.  Frank and I used to trade notes on 
nighthawks in downtown DC.
