Exploring the Feathered Frontier.
Now I’m wondering if a nightjar has ever accidentally landed on another, camouflaged nightjar…
I think it was a cut scene from Laurel and Hardy...or maybe The Three Stooges.
Only on ‘Hump Day’ when it is officially ordained by the lord of the forests! 😂😂😂
Lmfao😂
Making it a Jarjar
That’s how babies are made
Great Eared Nightjar: "I'm Batman."
Woah they look terrifying.
Terrifyingly cute.
Fus Ro DANG that's one cute bird.
Ahh ha!
@cartoonistlouis773Most things are
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.
Nightjars look so close to Anurognathus, a jurassic pterasaur!
So they are close to dinosaurs!
@@YuubiTimberwolf Wow! That is amazing.
Birds ARE dinosaurs. The non avian dinosaurs went extinct, the birds are the last surviving lineage of dinosaurs.
Birds are dinosaurs.
@@YuubiTimberwolf Pterosaurs aren't dinosaurs, but birds are.
I loved hearing their sounds. ❤ they are so adorable.
These birds are adorable. The great earred nightjar is my favorite too. The ear flaps and the wide mouth, we all know who that looks like.
Who...?
Toothless
My favorite is the pennant winged nightjar, it's single huge feather in its wing is so majestic!
@@RosheenQuynhToothless from the How to Train Your Dragon franchise
Like a flying Staffie!
The nightjars here in Costa Rica have a lovely distint call. You hear them most in dry season when they seem to be more active. Love hearing them!
I am a native of The Arkansas Ozarks. It's a sure sign that warm weather is coming when we can hear The Whip-O-Will. Their call takes me home.❤
Love a bird that's able to look distinguished while whistling a sweet tune.
When they open their mouths so widely in the thumbnail it reminds me of the potoo. Thank you for always introducing me to animals I would not have otherwise known about!
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.}
@@rhyothemisprinceps1617 so they are from the same family of Muppet birds, nice.
Sorry, I posted in error (corrected above). However, they are in the same clade (Strisores). @@draconinja2728
MY FAVOURITE BIRD (nightjars,nighthawks,potoos,frogmouths,oilbirds,swallows,swifts,martins and some others
Nightjars are really remarkable and beautiful to see. Its always a joy to see them in our forests in singapore. They way they fly like butterflies and falling leaves, its real relaxing and a joy
to watch
Whip-poor-wills were common where I grew up. I miss hearing them in summer evenings.
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.
Love these birds! Very talented! Great video!! ✨

'Very interesting and very well presented Irnia!
As a naturalist from North America, I'm only really familiar with Nighthawks and the Eastern Whip-poor-will!
I didn't realize that the Nightjars were so diverse and were so cosmopolitan in their distribution!

Funny, I love the sound the eurasian nightjar makes. It is weird, it sounds like a really loud bug. But still that sound puts me to sleep.
I loved that ending! You are just as adorable as all these sweet birdies!
My favorite is the whipper will I love listening to it to fall asleep out camping
Great video as always, truly, what a beautiful animal. And their whistles are so cute. Love the bloopers !
Do really love the nightjars. I am a Norwegian living in Brazil, and here we have a lot of them. My favorite is the Macropsalis forcipata, Long-trained Nightjar.
🎉 I’ve been waiting so long for this one thank you so much
I didn't know nightjars were split from frogmouths! Gonna have to go watch the frogmouth episode!
You have to love how the human mind links perceived perception to imagination when naming animals. "They must've been going after the utters!" lol.
This are definitely up there in some of my favorite birds. They are adorable.
Big mouths always evolve in interesting ways
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.
My favorite would be the common nighthawk. I fell in love with their calls along before I knew what they were.
I think eurasian nightjars sound adorable. I once went on a university excursion, where we slept in tents and got to listen to the nightjars singing every night.
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.
I love the bloopers at the end of the video. It shows you're just normal people like we are! ❤
have been lucky to witness and photograph many of these species including the great eared nightjar! truly amazing birds and great job animalogic for bringing more awareness to these beautiful birds
This is one of my friends' favorite birds! It's nice to see this channel covering them 😄
There have been recently paleontological discoveries of an early bird but not with feather wings but bat like membrane wings called "Yi qi".
Could make a great Paleologic!
That great eared nightjar in the tree with its adorable little call is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. I've never heard of these before and now I want to see one in person for cuteness overload.
Great eared nightjars are one of my favorite species of birds, right up there with secretary birds, penguins, and Victoria crowned pigeons (which I hope you guys do a video on sometime in the future).
the coloring and patterns on these birds is spectacular...
- Super cool bird !! I just love your videos !! Thanks guys ❤
The way the the narrator talks is calm and expressive at the same time it's cool
But for those cute ears, much like our frogmouths in Australia.
It’s surprising that Nightjars, Owlet-Night Jars, Frogmouths and oilbirds all belong to separate, but related orders. The previously mentioned birds are all fairly similar looking.
Turns out chupacabras we’re just nightjars all along.
Love these beautiful birds! Fantastic Video as Always!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ❤❤ 💖💖
They are a fascinating family indeed! Thank you.
We have common nighthawk around here, they are one of my favorite birds to see coming back in spring
If you find the sound of Nightjar eerie, wait until you hear the Loon!
She’s so beautiful. I love her smile.
The inclusion of the sounds they make was really cool
The Great Eared Nightjar! Now I know where the Japanese company Toho got their model for Rodan!
those bloopers were so cute.
Ah I love these guys! I love using them as feather spec for troodontids. It just feels like they have the same vibes.
I love nightfalls. The sound they make in a dive is simply pure… amazing
So cool! I've never even heard of these birds before ❤ thanks so much for the easy to digest info :)
This was very good to watch. Enjoyed
This Bird is literally “ :O “
I grew up with the sound of the whippoorwill… I love that sound❤️🐝🤗
A silent forest is so much creepier than a 'loud' one.
The Chuck-Will's-Widow's call (at 8:14) instantly took me back to summer nights back home in Georgia.
So glad animal logic has a special segment dedicated to birds, since birds aren't animals!
I love these birds so much!
Wait -- the Whippoorwill is a Nightjar?????? I thought I'd never heard of these birds before, but I have for sure HEARD a Whippoorwill!
What an absolute beauty. Great learning experience. ♠️
Animalogic, one of my favorite channels out here. Can't go wrong when clicking to this channel :)
You mentioned night hawks, but not how they scream and zoom down to catch their prey.
It’s fascinating
I love the uniqueness of the Nighyjars and Potoos/Frogmouths.
Your channel is great. I`m a nightjar fan anyway, so this is my favourite video of yours I´ve seen so far. Irania Eyer is very competent & charming.
One of my favorite birds!!!
I like the one that looks like a dragon.
I could fall asleep easier listening to great horned owls and whip-or-wills
Beautiful little birbs!🐦
Love the bloopers!
Absolutely gorgeous creature. and the bird is cute too
The great earred nightar is so cute! His little call like “toot! woo hoo” which for some reason it is extremely cute to me
This is so awesome! I saw this bird while I was out fishing last night, I was catching crawdads and I saw on of these fellas on the dirt but I only saw it’s eye, I thought it was a snake or something so I go to it and it’s this bird, I got about 5 feet away from it before it decided to fly off but I’m surprised it let me get that close!
SO cool! Thanks! Plus, we really enjoyed your facial expressions! Adds such oomph and excitement!!! ❤
Our Australian tawny frogmouth has an awesome blood curdling scream that usually happens at just on dark.I love em
4:56 okay so thats the cutest bird ive ever seen in my life
I love their booming dive.
The common Poor-Will is my favorite I guess because they live in the edges of mixed forest/meadow near my home. My dad called them night hawks and for years I thought they were actually a tiny raptor...
Girl, i just love your expressions.
Such cool birds!
I love those birds!
Beautiful birds
That bird looks ready to fight Gamera. 😅
That's really awesome!!
Humans: Birbs are so sweet
Nature: Dragon birbs
They look like they can breathe fire like an actual dragon, while sucking your soul out and possibly screaming so loud that it renders you unconscious
Her name, Aranya, in the language Kannada, the official language of the state of Karnataka in India, literally means "Forest"
We need an RPG game where you play as bugs, and this bird is one of the bosses.
ive only seen drawings of this bird.. they are so cool
They look like miniature potoo. Weirdly cute. OMG THOSE CHICKS ARE ADORABLE!!!
Ah! My favourite bird and one of my two favourite animals!
I had to google what the name of those birds were in Portuguese and I found out it is "bacurau".
That's the name of a very famous and acclaimed Brazilian movie. I had no idea it was named after a bird.
These are so abundant in the Phoenix AZ area, and they give off this weird sonar like eco location sounds at night to locate insects. They swarm around street lamps. They are also preyed upon by owls.
Not the earrings!! 😂 *earrings were hurt during the making of this video*
Lovely birds! Here in New Jersey, I don’t see nightjars often (mostly because it’s so dang dark at night, thanks woods), but the other week while out on a walk, I got to see one of the last few straggler common nighthawks! My mom thinks they look creepy, but they’re hella cute to me
I was here for dragons and birds and..... she has a beautiful smile
Great Video! I'm a Wildlife Photographer and Naturalist Educator in the DMV area Mid-Atlantic, USA. Videos like this make tracking species in the field so much easier, and more fun!! Me and my Students love you guys, Keep up the Great Work!!
I find it funny how people act like there is only fight or flight, when deer in headlights is such a common saying and reaction that even birds are doing it.
