I was thrilled to see a Lesser Nighthawk on the ground. Three others flew immediately when I came upon them in a wash at Carrizo Plain. 24 Apr 2010

Lesser Nighthawks (Chordeiles acutipennis) sit on the ground of the chaparral hilltops and trill this toad-like trill on the summer nights around central Arizona. This one was at Peck's Lake [Arizona] May 20th, 1999. The sound is very hard to localize, since it is so low, quiet and "generic" (high-pitched sounds are much easier to find), and they are generally closer to you than they seem to be.

This species gets together in a kind of lek - several calling at once, and occasionally flying up in a fluttering courtship display while singing this strange song. 06

Here's a different "finish" to the regular trill for those of you who enjoy Nighthawk talk.
