Common Nighthawk Resting

I found this Common Nighthawk ( http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Chordeiles_minor.html ) resting in a tree on my recent trip to SE Colorado in the Comanche National Grassland Area. And I say let him rest so he can later operate at peak efficiency, these guys can gobble 500+ mosquitoes in a single day. ;-)
