South Shore Loop

Nighthawk hunting during the day
Although the word "Night" is part of the Common Nighthawks' name, they can be found swooping through the air catching insects during the day - beautiful birds!

See a detailed route description in my log entry of 4/3/14 titled "South Shore Outer Loop"

Temps were in the low 80's, a sunny sky with a good breeze, nice and quiet so you could hear all the birds, more cactus are in bloom, watching lizards scamper and birds flying - a perfect day to visit, and hike, the park!
