“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

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

This bird, known as a Common Nighthawk, is an uncommon patient at our wildlife rehabilitation hospital. These birds present unique challenges in care — unlike many other species, nighthawks feed on the wing, catching insects mid-flight. This means they won’t eat food left in a dish. Instead, we must hand-feed them, with the hope that they’ll eventually allow us to place food into their wide, delicate beaks.Why did this nighthawk need our help? It was found grounded on the side of the road, likel
