I went searching for the 2 babies and ended up flushing the whole family from their nest. One chick flew with mom into the weeds and one flew up into the trees. The mom nighthawk has been teaching her chicks how to hunt and I suspect this is the last photo I will get. I'm thinking they will be gone in a week now that they can fly. I will be sorry to see them go. However, I won't miss the pre-dawn screeching from the mom as she hunts over the garden.
