Matt,

Right before the aftermath of Hurricane Frances came to Vermont, I saw
COMMON NIGHTHAWKS on two consecutive twilights - one evening in
Dummerston and the next evening in Brookline - about 20 birds each
time.  When they flew over my home in Brookline, they were headed
north.  In Dummerston, they were circling and feeding over the covered
bridge off Route 30.  This was my first time to identify them by sight.
I heard them this summer in the dark over Brattleboro.
