I also observed a smaller number of Common Nighthawks tonight, though at about 8pm. By the time I was able to get into my yard to look for them, all I saw were 10 birds heading southeast but likely missed some. These could be part of Norma's group as there were strong thunderstorms in the Colo Springs area tonight that could have pushed them back west.
