Common Nighthawk Identification, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology
On warm summer evenings, Common Nighthawks roam the skies over treetops, grasslands, and cities. Their sharp, electric peent call is often the first clue they’re overhead. In the dim half-light, these long-winged birds fly in graceful loops, flashing white patches out past the bend of each wing as they chase insects. These fairly common but ...

Common Nighthawk Facts
Common in name, but rarely seen! The common nighthawk is a Florida Species of Greatest Conservation Need and member of a bird group called nightjars. These birds have unusually large eyes and mouths, allowing them to catch insects while flying during the early morning and early evening hours. During the day, nightjars rest by blending into their surroundings on the ground or in tree branches. Common nighthawks come to Florida in the summer to breed and can be found across most of the state. Inst

“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

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
