I'm always trying to photograph the Lesser Nighthawks that spend breeding seasons at the oasis. So far this is the best I've been able to do. They don't slow down for the camera.
Here's a better look at the thatching the Blue Grosbeak has incorporated into her nest (see yesterday's post). I've never seen such extensive use of what I believe is sotol in a nest. Below are a couple of photos of a sotol stalk We had a good crop of them this year.
UPDATE: That may be a Common Nighthawk and not a Lesser.
Ms. Carolyn, are you OK? Haven't heard anything from you in a week now, Just checking.
