We had a very rainy evening that kept us from doing several of the planned activities. We did not get to look at any of the astronomical wonders and we did not set up in lawn chairs to quietly sit and observe nature.
However, our small group did travel into the field area and enjoyed all that the rainy conditions offered. One of the special experiences was to see Common Nighthawks flying over feeding on what insects were available. In fact, while we were at the peak part of the field, one graced us with a quick pass within a few feet. What a spectacular experience!
We discussed but did not detect the migrating birds, which would have been quietly waiting for better conditions.
