Last evening around 8p, while clearing brush in my yard, I listened to a Woodcock doing it's spring call and flight sounds when another similar sound, but many more voices, floated down from high overhead. I looked up to see a loosely associated flock of 16 Common Nighthawks buzzing around my open field about 40-50' overhead. They were calling and close enough to pick out the white patches under their wings. Background of the Woodcock was an excellent opp to compare these similar sounds. Very special dusk treat.
