Have you ever heard the “peent” call of the common nighthawk? Common nighthawks are expert insectivores, capturing and consuming flying insects on the wing. They are most active at dawn and dusk, but if insects are plentiful they may hunt at all hours of the day. 📸 of common nighthawk by Barbara Rumer. #commonnighthawk #highdesert #oregondesert #greatbasin #malheurnationalwildliferefuge #friendsofmalheur | Friends of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge

Feeding Young Nighthawks! The common nighthawk eats while flying, so we have to hand feed them while in our care. Nighthawks are nocturnal birds in the nightjar family. They fly through the air at night and open their huge mouths to gather large amounts of bugs and gobble them down. #wildliferescue #wildliferehab #keepaustinwild #austintx #austinwildlife #commonnighthawk #nighthawk #lotsofbugs #handfeeding #eatasfastasyoucan #nightjarfamily | Austin Wildlife Rescue

“The Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor) typically gives a nasal 'peent' in flight, but during the breeding season the males will make this unearthly 'booming' noise (@ 12s in the recording). The sound is entirely mechanical, made by flexing the wings in a steep dive and forcing air through the wing feathers. This display is mostly done to impress females, but sometimes also to intimidate intruders (me in this case).” – Jacob Saucier, Division of Birds #SummerRoadTrip #Playlist | Smithsonian Nat

Common Nighthawks can be hard to see as they roost quietly, but on the wing they become much more obvious. Look to the sky to see groups of nighthawks winging their way south! Learn more: https://abcbirds.org/bird/common-nighthawk/ | American Bird Conservancy

This Common Nighthawk came in battered and thin from migration, and as you can see, he is none too happy about our efforts to fatten him up! We fed him our specialized baby bird formula for insectivores via syringe six times a day. A member of the nightjar family, nighthawks catch and eat insects in their gaping mouths while flying, much like Chuck-wills-widows. They migrate through Northeast Florida on their way to the tropics for the winter where insects are plentiful. Time was of the essence

Animal of the Week ~ COMMON NIGHTHAWK *The Common Nighthawk is a medium-sized bird measuring 8.5- 9.5 inches in length with a wingspan of 20- 24 inches; on average they weigh 2-3.5 ounces *Like many members of the nightjar family, they have a characteristic tiny beak that hides how large its mouth can gape. They have large eyes and a flattened head that rests on a short neck. Like owls, their eyes include a tapetum, a mirror-like structure at the back of each eye that reflects light to the retin
