Nighthawk Snoozing
Found two Common Nighthawks lying in the gravel at the Texas City Dike. They were hard to spot and were well camouflaged at a distance. This one was snoozing but luckily opened his eyes long enough to get a catch light in his eye from the sun.

He blends in real nice. That would be easy to miss, nice catch.

Thanks David. It would have been cool to see them flying around, but they were posing nicely.
