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 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
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.
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.}
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.
'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! 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦
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.
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.
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
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).
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!
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
Whip-poor-will still my favorite because his sound reminds me last days at school and vacations when I was young. I'm so happy to discover so many other speacies around the world.
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.
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.
That great eared nightjar looks like a bird with a cats head to me😃 I also love the sounds that they make. I don’t think there are any species near me in Southern California but if there were I could fall asleep to their sounds no problem. And they’re all so cute!
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...
European Nightjar is my favourite as I was so lucky to experience an encounter with a breading pair feeding and hearing their amazing calls for two nights in a row while camping in The New Forest (uk)
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!!
Love your videos!🤩 Please do a video about the bird-family of Swifts! They spend years in the air without touching the ground at all during this time!!! 🤯
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!
Uh, i just learned that a whipoorwill is a nightjar. Thought i was finding out about a bird i had never heard of, turns out i just had more to learn about something i thought i knew. Cool
The ghastly sound is on point, considering it's role in Finnish folklore. Many birds were considered to be spirit birds, and Nightjar was said to be a soul of a young woman, who was obsessed with spinning textiles like yarn - hence the finnish name of the bird "kehrääjä", spinner.
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.
Oh, so these are the birds that almost got us in trouble! Perhaps 10 or more years ago we had an application that used the original recaptcha for bot prevention (you know, the one that used scanned books). And one day we got a call from a very flustered customer. After some prying we managed to figure out what had gone wrong. They had gotten a complaint about a word used by recaptcha. It was the goat pseudonym, except the s was elongated (it was from a very old book), which to modern eyes looks like an F. Yeah that was embarrassing. Somehow the customer did not find it reassuring that the F was in fact an S. XD
i have a chuck wills widow in my back yard and one across from my house in FL.. they're annoying once they start they don't shut up again until sunrise
I grew up spending my summers in the Muskoka area of Ontario Canada through the 1970's. We could hear Eastern whip-poor-wills pretty much every night, but I had never knowingly seen one.
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
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 loved hearing their sounds. ❤ they are so adorable.

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.
Woah they look terrifying.
Terrifyingly cute.
😂❤

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.❤
Great Eared Nightjar: "I'm Batman."
Female Nightjar: For all I know, you could be Batman!
Batmam,”I’m nightjar!”
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
MY FAVOURITE BIRD (nightjars,nighthawks,potoos,frogmouths,oilbirds,swallows,swifts,martins and some others
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!
Love a bird that's able to look distinguished while whistling a sweet tune.
Whip-poor-wills were common where I grew up. I miss hearing them in summer evenings.
Fus Ro DANG that's one cute bird.
Ahh ha!

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
A silent forest is so much creepier than a 'loud' one.

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 didn't know nightjars were split from frogmouths! Gonna have to go watch the frogmouth episode!
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).
This is one of my friends' favorite birds! It's nice to see this channel covering them 😄
My favorite would be the common nighthawk. I fell in love with their calls along before I knew what they were.
I love the bloopers at the end of the video. It shows you're just normal people like we are! ❤
There have been recently paleontological discoveries of an early bird but not with feather wings but bat like membrane wings called "Yi qi".

- Super cool bird !! I just love your videos !! Thanks guys ❤
We have common nighthawk around here, they are one of my favorite birds to see coming back in spring
The Chuck-Will's-Widow's call (at 8:14) instantly took me back to summer nights back home in Georgia.
I saw one of these 8 feet away while in Costa Rica last month
Whip-poor-will still my favorite because his sound reminds me last days at school and vacations when I was young. I'm so happy to discover so many other speacies around the world.
Big mouths always evolve in interesting ways
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.
I grew up with the sound of the whippoorwill… I love that sound❤️🐝🤗
the coloring and patterns on these birds is spectacular...

I like the one that looks like a dragon.
Yup, that's Toothless
At Malaysia we see this bird in midnight with the red eyes 😮
Honestly, this reminds me of the Dragonfolly, a boss from the Calamity mod who is an Offshoot of dragonkind
Ah I love these guys! I love using them as feather spec for troodontids. It just feels like they have the same vibes.
They are a fascinating family indeed! Thank you.
This was very good to watch. Enjoyed

Animalogic, one of my favorite channels out here. Can't go wrong when clicking to this channel :)
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.
This Bird is literally “ :O “
SO cool! Thanks! Plus, we really enjoyed your facial expressions! Adds such oomph and excitement!!! ❤
Wait -- the Whippoorwill is a Nightjar?????? I thought I'd never heard of these birds before, but I have for sure HEARD a Whippoorwill!
She’s so beautiful. I love her smile.
European Nightjar is my favourite as I was so lucky to experience an encounter with a breading pair feeding and hearing their amazing calls for two nights in a row while camping in The New Forest (uk)

I love nightfalls. The sound they make in a dive is simply pure… amazing
I first heard of nightjars from the song Nightjar by Sleepthief. That song makes them seem so magical and mysterious.
That was a great video! Thank you for the work it took to produce this❤ I will keep my eyes out for them.
They look like miniature potoo. Weirdly cute. OMG THOSE CHICKS ARE ADORABLE!!!
The inclusion of the sounds they make was really cool
Lovely. The avian world is beautiful. And nice creation as well.
4:56 okay so thats the cutest bird ive ever seen in my life
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!
0:17 Perfect!
The way the the narrator talks is calm and expressive at the same time it's cool
Our Australian tawny frogmouth has an awesome blood curdling scream that usually happens at just on dark.I love em
When I was a kid in TEXAS we called them Bull Bats.
They made a big broooumm sound almost like a bull frog.
Uh, i just learned that a whipoorwill is a nightjar. Thought i was finding out about a bird i had never heard of, turns out i just had more to learn about something i thought i knew. Cool
wazup my nightjars!
The Great Eared Nightjar! Now I know where the Japanese company Toho got their model for Rodan!
The great earred nightar is so cute! His little call like “toot! woo hoo” which for some reason it is extremely cute to me

Whipperwills are the most relaxing sound to fall asleep to!
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.
I love the uniqueness of the Nighyjars and Potoos/Frogmouths.
The vikings are searching for this little dude
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
Oh, so these are the birds that almost got us in trouble! Perhaps 10 or more years ago we had an application that used the original recaptcha for bot prevention (you know, the one that used scanned books).

So glad animal logic has a special segment dedicated to birds, since birds aren't animals!
I was here for dragons and birds and..... she has a beautiful smile
Girl, i just love your expressions.
I once spent about an hour trying to get a photograph of a bunch of Kildeer. But I could never get close enough!
i have a chuck wills widow in my back yard and one across from my house in FL.. they're annoying once they start they don't shut up again until sunrise
I grew up spending my summers in the Muskoka area of Ontario Canada through the 1970's. We could hear Eastern whip-poor-wills pretty much every night, but I had never knowingly seen one.
You mentioned night hawks, but not how they scream and zoom down to catch their prey.
It’s fascinating
If you find the sound of Nightjar eerie, wait until you hear the Loon!
