Observation details
Before the sun rose, a pair of common nighthawks were flying above the sage hills across the gulley from me. Long, pointed wings highlighted with white bars. Looping, bobbing flight. Their ping-like calls fit with the calls of lazuli buntings, meadowlarks and California quail. The "whmmf" of their wings at the bottom of their dives, however, reminds one of bullfrogs.
