Subject: [Tweeters] Common Nighthawk, Quincy Lakes

I meant to mention in my previous post that we had a Common Nighthawk
flying overhead at Quincy Lakes, Grant Co., on 27 May, my first of
the year.

Also, I forgot to comment that there are a few rocks out in those
lakes that seem to be magnets for gulls and terns. On that day,
perched on exposed rocks in two lakes there were 2 immature
Bonaparte's Gulls, 6 adult Ring-billed Gulls, 1 2nd-year California
Gull, 8 Caspian Terns, 3 Forster's Terns, and a Black Tern, all terns
adults.
