I wish I had been prepared to see it!
About 5:45pm I was on the deck and looked up to see 7 Nighthawks fly over.
Camera settings weren't right, but I clicked away anyway and captured the
last of the group.
I stood there asking for more to fly over and then a few minutes later, a
group of AT LEAST 50 appeared! I lost it! Didn't have my wits about me to
try to take any photos! Was too shocked and in awe!
They were all heading northeast!
