Dear MoBirders,

I went to work this morning to a Columbia Business' Rooftop where I knew that 
COMMON NIGHTHAWKS have "Nested" in the past (Two Years ago and before 
to be exact...), so I brought my Camera, Just In Case!!! When I arrived I 
didn't see the Nighthawk in any of it's previous "Nesting" Areas, so I figured 
that it wasn't going to be here again this year... So I went to work (Changing 
Heating/Air Conditioning Filters...) and just forgot about the Nighthawk... 
Then, about an Hour after I started (this Building has a Lot of HVAC Units!!!), 
I jumped up onto another level of the Building to continue on, when all of the 
sudden the COMMON NIGHTHAWK Flew up and was Fluttering all around!!! I 
was Obviously a little Too Close to her "Nest"!!! So then I took-off to get my 
Camera and spent the next Half-Hour or so taking Photos of Her as well as a 
few of her Two Egg "Nest"!!! I think the Photos may be Interesting to some of 
you, as I took several of Her Trying To Lure Me Away From Her "Nest"...!!! All 
the Photos were Taken from 15'-20' Away (this is the Closest that my 400mm 
Lens will take Photos...), so I was trying Not to Disturb her as much as 
possible... For those of you who would like to See the Photos, Please Check 
them out at:  -  [log in to unmask]  -  Then go down to my NIGHTHAWKS 
& NIGHTJARS Gallery... I Hope that you will Enjoy Viewing them as Much as I 
Enjoyed Shooting them!!! Please let me know what you Think... Thank You, 
Please Take Care.

Yours,
Jonathan B. Pons
