Friday night I went to the ball game at Baysox Stadium. Also in attendance was a very prominent Northern Mockingbird. It stayed on the field for about the first four innings, alternating between short stop and left field positions. It actually looked like it was chasing a line drive to right field, flying along with it for several feet! Eventually it flew away, much to my relief. I really didn't want to see it connect with a ball.
Otherwise, there were some mourning doves and lots of large moths. In years passed, nighthawks could be seen from time to time, but not in the past 2-3 seasons.
