COMMON NIGHTHAWK , MAGGIE'S FARM, SCIO TOWNSHIP, WASHTENAW COUNTY, MICHIGAN, 31 AUGUST 2019

In days gone by when today’s old men were children, ribbons of Nighthawks, sometimes in the hundreds, would stream south just above the rooftops as the sunset gives its deepest colors. And sometimes, the morning sunshine could find a sleeping Nighthawk on nearly every streetlight for blocks around. Today this is no longer so. Now and then, the neighborhoods along Lake Saint Clair see or hear a single or perhaps a few Nighthawks at a time pass over in the evening quiet. Alas, what has happened? © 2019 Alan Ryff
