[Maine-birds] Common Nighthawk flight ID

Recent flights of Common Nighthawks locally provided a good opportunity to study the different ages and sexes passing through. It seems a good mix of adults of both sexes and young of the year migrate together. I posted a single photo of each of the three easily identifiable plumages and some comments describing the ID features, if anyone is interested.

Good Birding,
