Tree Swallows are the generalists of the swallow family, they can stay later
in the fall and come earliest in the spring because they also eat berries.
Likewise for phoebes. Nighthawks need a lot of flying insects, which we
don't have yet. I have also seen a few moths and skippers out, but we have a
few weeks yet to the numbers of swarming, higher-flying bugs needed to
sustain most insect catchers-on-the-wing!
I wondered the same thing a few years ago, so I looked this up and read all
about it in several places.

Subject: [mou] Nighthawks and Pewees
Please indulge this inquiry and forgive me if this something I should
already know. (also playing devils advocate)
What is the difference between accepting the sighting of 100's of insect
eating Tree Swallows, or an early Phoebe here and there and not accepting
the odd Nighthawk?
I was in WI March 8-13th and saw several good hatches of moths in the
Northern Kettle Morain area while night driving. Our unseasonably warm
weather has produced similar hatches of nocturnal flyers in far Northern MN,
evidenced on my windshield.
P.S.
I understand the need for visual confirmation with this species due to the
vocal similarities to Woodcock.
