A Poorwill Passes Through the Valley

Common Poorwills (Phalaenoptilus nuttalli) don’t breed in the Central Valley of California, but they sometimes pass through here on their way to their breeding grounds in the Sierra foothills and elsewhere.
Every now and then, we get lucky and find them in the valley, as we did today, 26 April 2024, at Grasslands Regional Park in Yolo County, California, USA.
