This afternoon, I went birding in the heat. Ewing Park had a few warblers--American Redstarts, Black-throated Green, Chestnut-sided, and Black-and-white, and Lake Bloomington had four Stilt Sandpipers, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Pectoral, Solitary, Spotted, and Least Sandpipers, but my best find of the day was a roosting Common Nighthawk on a high branch at Angler's Pond in Bloomington. Here are a few more photos. This was the first time I had ever seen a Nightjar of any kind roosting, and I even saw it preening a couple of times.
