Same here. I grew up in central Michigan next to a hospital. Nighthawks nested on top for years and I had them tagged as coming back around May 24 and leaving around August 24. As a kid I learned a lot about science and research thanks to Nighthawk behavior.
On a bad note, I too remember chasing the spraying trucks during mosquito season. Good example of what you don’t know could kill you … or make you really sick decades later.
