Скачать или смотреть Every Birder Needs To See This - Nighthawks

The Nighthawk has some amazing courtship behavior. Soaring high above, and then diving toward the ground. Their call sounds strange, but their courting ritual sounds even stranger. Bullet whizzing past your head and recochets. THAT'S what these birds sound like when they pull out of their Earthbound dives. The Nighthawks are a type of Nightjar, just like the Whop poor wills. They start their courting rituals shortly before sunset and continue for a while after the sun has set. The wid rushing over their flight feathers is what makes that roaring, whirring sound. You just have to see the video to appreciate these amazing birds. A special thank you goes out to my friends (and first meeting Jim, who was such a fun surprise), all three of you really came in clutch at a time where I really needed it. #nature #animals #birds
