Tuesday evening the sky was full of nighthawks and bats as the sun began to set, early enough that there was enough light to photograph them. Maybe not National Geographic-quality photos, but good enough to capture their characteristics in flight. Like the way the nighthawks, who look almost sparrow-like when you see them at rest, with their tiny beaks and plush toy feathers, turn into sleek little interceptors of the crepuscular sky, their profile expressing an aeronautical evolution for speed and sharp turns.
