Howdy Jonathan...Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate your taking the time to give me a great description and details about Armeleder Park and letting me know that it would be a good place to release the Nighthawk. I would definitely have taken your advice but I got real lucky. I had to go to Lexington that day and had to take the N.H. with me..( had to be handfed about every hour ) I was in a parking lot with a bunch of buildings around and darn if I didn't hear some. I kept hearing them but I couldn't see them and it was starting to get dark...I kept looking and FINALLY I saw ONE fly over a building. Needless to say I haven't moved that fast since I was 12...LOL...lucky me...hopefully lucky bird. Thanks again Jonathan.. :)

Yes, an urban population of nighthawks would likely be among the latest lingering into the fall. There's an urban heat-island effect and things like flat gravel-topped roofs and 20,000 Watt stadium lights to attract insects that make cities a good surrogate habitat. I'm glad that Nate the Nighthawk found his flock.
