At 7:15, as I was watching the nesting female during a brief time off the
nest and foraging, the Common Nighthawk burst off of its hidden perch and
headed northward. A single call alerted me to it.

Also, Red-breasted Nuthatches are visiting frequently. Robins, chickadees,
and goldfinches (Lesser, I think) are around a lot too. I think there's a
good number of caterpillars, as well as Elm Leafminer larvae, available for
food.
