167: Nighthawks Over Chimney Crater Lava Flow

This was recorded early on the morning after summer solstice on the Chimney Crater lava flow in the Medicine Lake Highlands in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. Numerous Common Nighthawks were flying around over the lava flow hoping to find a mate. The recording starts before dawn at about 3 am and continues until sunrise. The nighthawks call frequently as they fly around, and the males occasionally make their "boom" sound which is made by their wing feathers as they dive.
