Common nighthawkLast week we did owls. This week? A common nighthawk that stopped at David Cooper's house at Weatherby Lake.
Here's what he writes:
Here is an interesting bird I saw out on my deck. I watched it for a while and it slept for an hour and a half. Then I became concerned that maybe something was wrong with it because he didn't seem to be bothered by me. When it finally awoke, it preened itself, then spread it's wings and flew away.
The next day he came back and once again slept on the railing before flying away.
