I have never heard of night hawks- that tells you something of my birding experience- I have enjoyed the discussion-

The other night I woke up to the sounds of a bird outside at about 2 am- It was a very bright and clear night here in Edmonds- I listened to the sound for a while to make Sure I could recognize it properly- I never did actually see any bird.

the next day on the Cornell lab website I played the sound of the night hawk and it sounded very similar to the one I heard-

I have read the reports of seeing them and hearing them in various parts of the region, but not any from Edmonds-

Is there night hawks in The Edmonds area? Could that been what I heard- What other birds fly around at night a lot?

So much to learn..... one of the reasons I love this hobby/ growing obsession
