While driving home this evening, I spotted a flock of about 100 Common
Nighthawks swirling overhead.  Some of them seemed just overhead,while
others seemed far up in the sky, near the bottom of the rain clouds that
were spitting out droplets.  This sighting was on GA 9 at the Lumpkin
County/Dawson County Line and just north of the county line.  They were
spread out over about a mile.  I frequently see hawks and buteos in this
area; but this is the first time I noticed Common Nighthawks.  Perhaps
because they are usually out later in the day than when I usually travel GA
9.
