Daytime Nighthawk

I saw my first Nighthawk a few days ago.  While the girls played in a garden after an event we went to as a family, I wandered under a large maple tree.  I was looking for what might be there, and in this case, it was a roosting Nighthawk.  I could have picked it up in my hand, it was so still.  I don't know why it has taken me so long to find one.  It made the experience all the richer.
