This evening while birding at Slaughter Pen Farm Historic Site 
(https://ebird.org/hotspot/L4426661 ;<https://ebird.org/hotspot/L4426661>) just 
southeast of Fredericksburg I stumbled into a very nice flight of nighthawks. 
For approximately 45 minutes starting at ~6:55 loose flocks of nighthawks flew 
southeast over the fields. To the northeast, east, southeast, and south were 
major storm systems which I think funneled many of the birds past my location. 
Once the storms got closer and the wind picked up the movements abruptly 
stopped (~7:40).

Good birding,
Nick
