    I guess it proves all the more that dinos and birds have a connection. I've never heard of the Nightjar. But just from that shot they looked like little dragons. Now we're gonna look at them in a whole new light. I mean look at the feather layout. It looks like dragon scales.

      Me too, so I looked it up - nightjars and potoos are related. *Update/Correction:* As pointed out in the video, their classification was split in 2021. However, the nightjars and potoos are still in the same clade - Strisores. Wikipedia has more info on this. {I posted before watching the video since I like to save animal videos for after-dinner tv watching with family.}

    Nightjars/nighthawks are so darn cute and weird, I love them! I thought they were all the same group as the potoos and frogmouths but today I learned!!
    Also if I had to suggest a bird, it would be the MAGPIE!! They're such beautiful intelligent birds, and underappreciated since crows and ravens get so much attention for their smarts.

    My favorite is the whippoorwill, because I hear them a lot where I live, although I've never seen one, except in pictures. I didn't even remember what they looked like or that they are in the nightjar family until this video.
    It's interesting that the video showed killdeer, because we have them all over the place here. You'll see them all the time around parking lots and in farmland. A video about them would be cool. I've seen the whole "broken wing" act they do. That's when you know that there is a nest or baby nearby. Their babies are so cute. They look like miniature fuzzy versions of the adults.

  • @chairshoe81
    @chairshoe81 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    one thing they didnt talk about: nighthawks do this mating dive that makes the air move through their feathers in a way that makes them vibrate, creating this crazy growling kind of sound. if youve ever gone camping and were terrified all night because you kept hearing something like a bear growl, this is what you were hearing.
