Hi Folks,
I was watching the Common Nighthawks around my Houston hotel, last night,
and noticed that their flight style is very different from that of Lesser
Nighthawks.
Lesser Nighthawk: wings are held stiffly, wings flap with deep, single power
strokes.
Common Nighthawk: shallow, fluttery wing beats that are like a loose
butterfly.
Is this a correct observation, or was their fluttering flight in response to
the hot, humid air?
