What a great edition, Dave! Watching butterflies flit and float creates such a sense of serenity in me. We’ll be watching throughout the autumn weeks. I also loved Sparky’s video! When my wife, Kim, and I lived in Walnut Grove, we could hear the sharp sound of the Common Nighthawk beginning at dusk. There was a very tall light pole right outside our bedroom window where they would perch and screech. It was hard getting to sleep with that sound some nights, but still very cool knowing that they were nighthawks.
Thanks, Brian! Where I grew up, in Minneapolis, they nested on the elementary school not far from my house. Took me quite a while to figure out what was making that noise!
