[Birdtalk] Nighthawks in Moab

[Jason Pietrzak]

I'm home for the weekend and all the birdtalk about Nighthawks made me
realize I hadn't seen one yet in Moab this year. Then 10 minutes ago,
while working on my computer, I heard that unmistakable sound of the
display dive. I ran outside into our field and saw a Nighthawk
battling the wind as it flew past. Then it looped back and flew by me
at eye-level about 10 meters away! I've never seen them that close
(except when flushing them during the day). It was quite a view!

Another Moab note: went for a quick walk by Mill Creek today and saw a
couple Blue Grosbeaks - I guess they must be everywhere by now.

Good birding,
