Have you seen any birds in the garden that aren't on our list? If so, let us know in the comments.

Please add Nighthawk to your list of birds. I was watching them swoop and dive as we were finishing the work evening in the garden.

Thanks Sharon - that's really cool! I've never seen a nighthawk in Chicago. Which garden was that?

It was in Global. After 8pm. First one making a noise and then another and a third joined them. Once they got in formation they flew silently. I must have looked moonstruck as I stood watching them, but it was so beautiful.

Thanks - Global seems like a pretty special place. I would have liked to see that.
