Oh hell! I didn't even think of that! Well, is there anyway we can delete this thread or am I going to have to get an extra bottle of Jim Beam? B

Nope, not even close, though I do realize now that the filename is indeed Nighthawk.jpg!
I clicked on the file,which opened it in a new window. Even though I've have never ever seen a Common Nighthawk before, I have become a walking field guide of sorts in that I remember what the pictures in my Sibley guide look like. At first I would've thought Chimney Swift (the Flying Cigar). But noticing the wing bands, this shot down my guess. And I remembered a similar pattern on various nighthawks, which somewhat resemble swifts in shape. Not looking through my Sibley guides, I took a stab at Common Nighthawk!

You are a wonder and a glory, GT. It's wonderful to watch your skills wax. When I get to NY, I'm heading due north.

Thought it looked a bit strange there, floating by in the noonday sun...
Dunno GT, but I gotta go sometime, and Stormville's now tacked onto the itinerary.
