Kurt and I decided to set up a location in the Manassas Battlefield looking
for nighthawks. We were seeing a couple groups of birds and a few stragglers
until the storm front got close to us, and the lightning forced us back into
the car. As we drove from one part of the park to another we saw two
swarms/kettles of night hawks, one of 16 birds, the other of 19. Both of
these were in a down pour. We ended up with 66 for the night before the
rains became too heavy to deal with.
