I hate to disagree with my fellow bird watchers, but I believe it's a nighthawk. You will see and hear them mostly at dusk and dawn. They fly fairly low and have a white vee on the underside of their wings. The male will dive and when close to the ground spread his wings producing a loud whirring sound. They feed on flying insects. Please see my post right below this one for a picture.
