Common Nighthawks
Common Nighthawks are medium-sized birds known for their pointed wings, long tails, and cryptic plumage. They are primarily active at dawn and dusk, hunting insects in flight with their wide mouths. Common Nighthawks are found throughout North and South America, nesting on the ground in open areas such as fields, deserts, and grasslands. These birds are known for their distinctive "booming" call, which is often heard during their evening displays.
