It's finally warming up around here (but it's still been 264 days since we've had a day over 75 degrees). It's been nice enough to open up the windows at night. Problem is...I can't sleep due to the stupid nighthawks!!

Oh man are they noisy, and they don't stop! All...Night...Long...their constant "chirping" kept me awake! I finally had to shut the windows and nix the idea of enjoying a cool breeze at night.

If you've never heard one before, or don't know what I'm talking about, here ya go:

Ya...try sleeping to that! OY!

Maybe you and Keri can take turns chirping back at them.  Sooner or later they might get annoyed with you and move on.  Nah, I guess you've probably tried that already. ;D

Are they a protected species?
