Talk:Common nighthawk

Same species

There is another article "Nighthawk" which seems to describe the same species. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.68.196.57 (talk) 09:37, 14 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

File:Chordeiles minor -British Columbia -Canada-8c.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Chordeiles minor -British Columbia -Canada-8c.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on July 11, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-07-11. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 17:47, 8 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Common Nighthawk
The Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor) is a species of nightjar that is native to the Americas. It breeds in open country across North America and migrates in flocks to wintering grounds in South America. As seen here, the Common Nighthawk does not build a nest, but instead lays eggs on bare ground.Photo: Gavin Schaefer

Ecolocation

I heard what I think was a nighthawk again last evening, and when it flew close to me I could hear it's chirp echoing. It helped confirm how I think it uses ecolocation.

Otherwise, Wikipedia gives only two birds that use bio sonar, swiftlets and oilbirds. Dcebr (talk) 20:18, 11 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
