Скачать или смотреть Shining a Light on Common Nighthawk Conservation - Dr. Elly Night

The ground-nesting Common Nighthawk is one of North America’s most widely distributed bird species and yet it remains one of the least understood, thanks in part to its nocturnal habits.

Unfortunately, the Common Nighthawk is also declining across much of its range, with many causes potentially available for the decline of this long-distance migrant. We’ll discuss how emerging research from across the annual cycle, including the Canadian Nightjar Survey community science program, provides first steps towards the conservation of this enigmatic species.

Our presenter, Dr. Elly Knight, is a postdoctoral fellow with the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center. Elly has been studying Common Nighthawks across the continent for over a decade, including for her PhD and as former Program Manager of the Canadian Nightjar Survey.
