Hi Gail et al.  

I saw 4 Common Nighthawks from my 6th story office window facing north over
downtown Bethesda (Mont. Co.) at around 11 am yesterday (Aug. 26).  

At around 6:45 pm, while I was stopped at a traffic light at East West
Highway and Beach Drive in Chevy Chase, Montgomery Co., I counted 15
nighthawks heading generally south.  

At some point after 7 pm last night, Ottavio Janni saw large aggregations
of Common Nighthawks, perhaps 225 flying west.  

Best,
