Avian sighting - Large Nightjar
This Nightjar was found roosting on the ground thanks to my good buddy Rob spotting it. Usually these nocturnal birds will stay very still sleeping like frogmouth at a spot during the day and actively feed on the fly perching electrical lines or post overlooking lighted lamp where flying insects like moths congregate.
I believe they are territorial and can stay at a habitat for a good time if the place is conducive & not disturbed too much by predators or birders.
