So, I arrived at the Pompy Flats with great hopes for some nighthawks.  Even
set up my chair.

 

Before I could get my binocs, I saw 2...  then they headed off toward the
bridge upstream on 132.  Then I saw a few more.

 

Then, I decided I should do some chasing.  I drove up to the Pirouette
Farm...and there swirling, dipping, diving and feeding were about 70 CoNi's
!

 

I watched them for about 80 minutes...such great looks. Their white throat
patch. The cool patches on their wings.  Even saw a few when they fanned
their tails, sported a white necklace.

 

Took some weak pics with my cell phone. about 80-100' above.

 

Fun !
