Nighthawk

[theviking]

Took these pics this morning in the rain and fog, I've been trying to get a decent shot of a Nighthawk for a few years. I think I will keep trying as these shots are not too good. Difficult bird to photo, hope you enjoy.

Mexican folk lore says that they are the soles of beautiful women. To return them to mortality, you burn a rope with a series of knots and say a certain prayer at each knot.
