Thank you for taking an interest in this, but the wings do not look similar to the nightjar image you posted. I have seen both, and I am convinced that it is a common nighthawk. Also, I saw it in flight, and the wings confirm it for me.

I am ok with that as long as it is just for reference. Thanks for asking.

Their population has declined by 50 to 60 percent over that time.

Not quite - I am just posting my pictures, and am glad to answer questions (usually). Take it or leave it my friend.

A first year bird, I think.

Of course I would like to sell prints of my photos. Please watch this thread for details - it will take me a few days to figure out how best to do this. Thanks again for your interest.

It is a reflection of the grass on the ground.

I thought I posted a response to this but it disappeared. I don’t have anything setup for that, but I’d be glad to sell framed prints of my photos. Thanks.

No.. not a snowbird yet. I have seen vermillion flycatchers in AZ and FL.

Very hard to tell from that clip. Possibly a Weka, though the color doesn't seem to match.

No, this is a Sandhill Crane.
