Dusk Until Dawn

Just after sunset, the sky was filled with nighthawks. They were darting & dashing around the sky as they foraged for areal insect snacks. That in itself was a wonderful spectacle & filled me with admiration for the threatened species. The next morning, I was able to spot a multitude of nighthawks roosting nearby my campground. Hidden bellow sage & tucked behind dry grass, they were very well camouflaged. However, none seemed as comfortable as this individual upon their fencepost in the warm morning sun. It was wonderful to see these intricately beautiful birds in the daylight.
