Andrew_Lyall Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hello. Photo taken today at my home in Corpus Christi, TX. Is this a Common or a Lesser? Thank you. nighthawk by Andrew Lyall, on Flickr 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psweet Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Looks like a Common -- the white band on the primaries is close to the wrist, under the tertials. On Lesser, it's farther out, near the tip of the tertials. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew_Lyall Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thank you psweet for the id Charlie, a great bird indeed! I had seen a nightjar flying around the area a few times over the past 3 days, but when I went out to change the hummer feeder, I was surprised to see it resting in one of my trees. That made my day 3 hours later and it is still in the same tree, so I took a few more pics: nighthawk by Andrew Lyall, on Flickr nighthawk by Andrew Lyall, on Flickr 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
