I like this one the best, Jerry; I think the eye really makes this special, and the amazing camo pattern shows really well. A very nice image--well done. I have never seen a nighthawk roosting--some day perhaps.

This is my favorite also Jerry. I think the composition works best in this image. It seems more balanced and the background is very complimentary.

Very nice as posted. I think the processing (color, saturation) are better in this one compared tot her previous nighthawk posts.

Another nice shot of this hard-to-find bird, Jerry.
