I had a single bird "peent" twice then move on in northern Fort Collins last night while eating dinner on the patio... the same sentiment as Leon. Whats happening? Are this birds about to disappear?

COBirders,
About 20 minutes ago I heard a familiar call in the sky while in my back yard. I looked up and confirmed a solitary Common Nighthawk. When growing up over 60 years ago in the Midwest large flocks of this species were ubiquitous. The booming of their wings was quite distinct and I believe most rural people recognized what many of them called "bull-bats". They were also fairly common 35 years ago in Pueblo and Custer counties. Now, unfortunately, hearing/seeing one gives me a pang of nostalgia and the urge to report it to COBirds.
