[Tweeters] Nighthawks

[Kersti Muul via Tweeters]

Hey Joan!

I was just marveling myself - in the dark at 1030 a few nights ago, at all
the nighthawks flying over and vocalizing  (Seaview)

I've had reports of them in Arbor heights previously, and Gatewood - so
definitely around West Seattle. It's so great to hear them. I had the
pleasure of stumbling upon a newly fledged one last summer in Montana while
backcountry hiking around 8000'. (Not literally stumbling upon, but
classical lateral position on low branch).

Tiger mountain is a hotspot for them. Heard them every early morning (3-4
AM ish) during field work.

If anyone wants to see a pic of the baby let me know! The plumage spots ate
otherworldly 🧐🤤
