Episode 12: Common Nighthawk – Voice of the Wild
Learn the song and call of the Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor).
The erratic flight and Narrow angular wings tipped with white bands give the common nighthawk a rather boomerang-like appearance. While it can be found foraging over its native habitats; marshes, ponds, and prairies, you’re more likely to hear its distinctive “peent” when heading downtown for a dinner with friends. That’s because this nightjar has an affinity for the evening city skyline. The bright city lights draw in plenty of insects for it to catch with its enormous mouth and it finds places to nest on the gravel roofs of apartments and hotels. This bird can make a booming sound with its wings, though this is far less commonly heard than its call.
