[TN-Bird] Common Nighthawk - Smyrna, Rutherford Co

I was eating dinner on the back porch with my wife about 6:30 pm central and 
listening to a Palm Warbler (I eventually saw the bird and it was a Western), 
which was a new bird for the yard when I said that my first nighthawks arrived 
on 30 Apr last year.  Five minutes later a pair of nighthawks were flying 
around behind the house calling their distinct "peent" call.  They put on a 
nice show too.  They must nest on a roof top somewhere nearby as they are 
around daily through the summer.

Cheers,
Scott Somershoe
