Nighthawk

[bpitt]

So I'm truckin' down my road last night, when BAM, something flew into the front of the car. I stopped, backed up and go out. I hit a nighthawk. Anyone ever look at one of these, they're kinda cool looking birds.

I used to have a CB 900 that would run like a scalded dog. Hope noone was injured.

Ain't that a 10 speed?

A Nighthawk? I've lived and hunted in Ms. my entire life and I've never heard of a nighthawk. Post a pic.

Yeah, It's actually a six speed with a second gear range, so it works out to about 10 useable gears. My speed was limited by the fact that I am a careful driver and the fact that around 95 the windshield would flap.

It was my first time to see one, but I did. I'd go back and get a picture of it, but something has done drug it off the road and ate it.

[bpitt]

No, it was a nighthawk, I got home and looked it up in the Audobon Field Guide to North American Birds.
