Observation details

Wrapped up our dinner a bit early (sorry Dana!) after I saw suspiciously nightjar-ish shapes/shadows dancing around outside the room where we were having dinner. Saw one bird perched on the patio railing right when I stepped outside, and another one nearby! Unfortunately we didn't have much time to spend with them since we had to leave for our night drive.
