Common Nighthawk in flight
Just before sunset today this Common Nighthawk flew over Misty Ridge, giving me an unusually close and well-lighted view of the finer details of its underside plumage. "Bzzeert!"(Click on the photo for an enlarged view.)
The Flycatcher
To describe my lifelong fascination with flight and with creatures that fly I like to echo the words of John James Audubon who in 1839 wrote of himself as "...one who never can cease to admire and to study with zeal and the most heartfelt reverence, the wonderful productions of an Almighty Creator."
