Abstract:

Nightjars, also known as goatsuckers, are known for their loud, melodic cries that “jar” the night's stillness. Over eighty species of the bird occur worldwide. Of the eight species in North America, three live in North Carolina--the whip-poor-will, the chuck-will's-widow, and the common nighthawk.
