About 8:00 this evening my husband and I were outside with our 
heads stuck under the hood of my car (trying to change a light 
bulb) when I heard a once-familiar and much-loved sound:  a 
nighthawk!  I straightened up immediately and searched for it 
and spotted a single individual, flying over the tree line in the 
distance - then out of sight.

Just think of all the birds with "common" in their names that 
aren't anymore...
