This bird, known as a Common Nighthawk, is an uncommon patient at our wildlife rehabilitation hospital. These birds present unique challenges in care — unlike many other species, nighthawks feed on the wing, catching insects mid-flight. This means they won’t eat food left in a dish. Instead, we must hand-feed them, with the hope that they’ll eventually allow us to place food into their wide, delicate beaks.Why did this nighthawk need our help?

Common Nighthawks can be hard to see as they roost quietly, but on the wing they become much more obvious. Look to the sky to see groups of nighthawks winging their way south! Learn more: https://abcbirds.org/bird/common-nighthawk/ | American Bird Conservancy

“The Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor) typically gives a nasal 'peent' in flight, but during the breeding season the males will make this unearthly 'booming' noise (@ 12s in the recording). The sound is entirely mechanical, made by flexing the wings in a steep dive and forcing air through the wing feathers. This display is mostly done to impress females, but sometimes also to intimidate intruders (me in this case).” – Jacob Saucier, Division of Birds #SummerRoadTrip #Playlist | Smithsonian Nat

This Common Nighthawk came in battered and thin from migration, and as you can see, he is none too happy about our efforts to fatten him up! We fed him our specialized baby bird formula for insectivores via syringe six times a day. A member of the nightjar family, nighthawks catch and eat insects in their gaping mouths while flying, much like Chuck-wills-widows. They migrate through Northeast Florida on their way to the tropics for the winter where insects are plentiful. Time was of the essence
