Observation details
Dark underbody with white throat; long narrow pointed wings with white bar at base of primaries; long narrow tail with wide white band near tip. Feeding high over dry river bar and gravel pit (MP 24.2 Haines Hwy) - calling frequently. Two flew high over the river bar, while two others (see photos) flew over the gravel pit about 1/4 mile south of the river bar pin. One of the two over the gravel pit made the 'booming' sound at the end of a dive. This is the same location, and likely the same birds, Sulli Gibson reported on 5 Aug - as well as the same location others have reported nighthawks in the summer.
