About These Birds
Bahian Nighthawk
A small Caprimulgidae nighthawk (~41 g) of the São Francisco River valley in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Closely related to the Band-tailed Nighthawk; restricted to riverine habitats with open sandy banks. Roosts and forages near rocky rivers. Diet consists of small flying insects. Least Concern.
Cayenne Nightjar
A small Caprimulgidae nightjar (~47 g) from coastal French Guiana and adjacent Suriname. Known from only a handful of specimens; biology essentially unknown. Mottled brown plumage presumed cryptic in leaf litter. Presumed nocturnal insectivore. Data Deficient due to extreme rarity of confirmed records in the wild.
