Kerri Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Are there any other hawks or raptors that have those strong white bars on the underside of the wings? This morning as I was driving to work 7 am (country road south of Houston) I saw what appeared to be an all black bird (crow/hawk sized) that had wide white markings on the underside of the wings. Thank you. Edited June 13, 2019 by Kerri typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean C Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Sounds like a Common Nighthawk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metaquatic Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Common Nighthawks flap their wings a lot! This "flappy" behavior is an ID characteristic, as compared to soaring or strong full wing flaps of most raptors. They also have an unusual "Peeent" sound if you stop to listen. Cool Bird! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
