Re: [cobirds] Common Nighthawk

Yes but not too early for a displaying woodcock. The vocal note, uttered from high overhead, is very similar, and the location near the River is compatible. If it is a territorial woodcock, it should call again tomorrow night as well and maybe also predawn. 

For readers unfamiliar with American woodcock, it.is an eastern bird considered accidental in Colorado, but possibly overlooked. An early spring migrant was seen by many last month in El Paso County.

About 8PM I heard a single Common Nighthawk over north Downtown Littleton, right along the Platte.  Way early, no?
