On the morning of 06 July, 2016, I awoke to the mellow “poor-will-low” of a Common Poorwill and the distant “peents” and later the croaking “booms" of Nighthawks. Both Poorwills and Nighthawks are members of the nocturnal Nightjar family. I’ve gotten used to hearing them for the short period after everyone else has roosted for the night or just before dawn, but until recently I hadn’t been able to readily identify either. Here a Nighthawk is still awake well after the sun has started its march into the sky, although it's not even 4:30am on this early summer morning in the Colockum Wildlife Area of Washington.
