Hi, all:
While driving home from work Friday about 6 a nighthawk flew over my
truck. It was on Wood Rd 1 mile south of Coulee-Hite Rd...this info for
locals...this is just about 6 mi NE of Reardan. When I first moved to
this location in 1995 there were a dozen or more of them swooping over
the meadows on both sides of my house. The next year they were gone and I
never heard or saw another one. This bird was flying straight and fast
over the road only about 30 ft off the ground. Has anyone on the East
side seen a nighthawk in this vicinity (west side of Spokane)? I really
hope they're going to come back. Their distinctive call used to be one of
the pleasures of summer.
Regards, Joanne
