[mou] Common Nighthawk display

[shawn conrad]

Yesterday I was in the mine dumps near Bovey (an area called Seven Cities) 
and stumbled upon a Common Nighthawk nest.  The adult pedaled around on the 
ground between bushes using its wings like arms, apparently performing a 
distraction display....kind of looked like when a cat scratches its rear on 
a carpet.  A very peculiar sight.
