A portrait of a Common Nighthawk on a lilac background. Its head and body are covered in black and white speckled feathers. It has large, half-closed black eyes rimmed with tan. Its cheeks are reddish brown with black stripes. It has a small hooked beak but the line of its mouth extends past where the beak meets the face. The nighthawk is outlined with sketchy white lines.

The last of the #CommonNighthawk I saw as they were flying south during migration. Glad to get a few more good snaps in of these pretty birds!

A common nighthawk trying to ‘hide’ on a wooden ramp rail. He’s not doing a great job.

After a week of being a sick slug, I left the house for the first time today! Spotted a common nighthawk trying his best to camouflage.

Identified a #CommonNighthawk living it’s best life in a downtown #Toronto ravine yesterday morning. Couldn’t get visual on the speedy, erratic little fucker, but was still so exciting to know that wildlife can flourish if we give it a chance.

Still one of the most fascinating birds I have ever encountered, the Common Nighthawk. #commonnighthawk #nighthawk #bullbat #nightjar #birds #birdlovers #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #westcoast #canon #canada #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia

I spotted this Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor) expertly camouflaged roosting on a tree branch near Boulder, Colorado. A nightjar, not related to hawks despite its name, it feeds in-air on insects at dawn and dusk. #birds #birdsoftheworld #nightjar #commonnighthawk #nikon www.felzfotoz.com

Another top moment for me this year was getting to see these Common Nighthawk chicks. One of my top moments of the year was finding this nesting Common Nighthawk. #commonnighthawk #nighthawk #birds #birdphotography #islandinfocus #canada #britishcolumbia #cowichanvalley #canon #naturephotography

Got some #CommonNighthawk watching in at the end of August from home in North Central MA. Scanning the skies at the end of the day was a welcome relief after a very busy month at the day job.

On 8/28, I got a Personal Record 134 birds, including a flock of 35! #birding 🪶
