*** About Common Nighthawk: Known for their crepuscular and nocturnal habits, Common Nighthawks are part of the nightjar family. These birds are typically found in open areas across North America and are known for their impressive aerial displays at dusk. Their diet mainly consists of insects, which they catch in flight. The species is recognizable by its long wings and buoyant flight, with males distinguished by their loud calls and dramatic "boom" sounds produced by air rushing through their wing feathers during courtship dives. Unfortunately, due to habitat loss and other environmental pressures, the Common Nighthawk's presence is diminishing, making conservation efforts crucial.
