LP Field, Nashville
After the most boring football game I've ever seen (and that's saying a lot for 
pre-season), I happened to look skywards as we exited the stadium. There were 
about 80-100 Common Nighthawks foraging en masse above and around the bright 
lights of the stadium, making for an awe inspiring sight! We could only see 
approximately 25-30% of the structure, so I can only imagine that there were 
200-300 more birds that were not visible from our vantage point.
Good NFL birding,

p.s.- the pop-up thunderstorm at dusk made it impossible to see any Purple 
Martins coming in to roost at their historic site adjacent the Stadium.
