Chordeiles virginianus. 1908 June 13 Shortly after Sunset last evening Night-hawks began keeping over the city, near for from the head of State Street. There were several of them, evidently. I heard them at intervals through the night which was clear & lighted by a full moon. They have been calling again this morning. I cannot tell whether they are frequent or rare here in this city. There are 6. of these birds. There can be, with us no doubt, I think so, since these birds are abundant for the season and breeding to fly, ground nests of which are a good many in the vicinity of this colony.
