"This rather long-tailed nightjar is found in open grassy or shrubby habitats from Costa Rica across much of northern South America. Both sexes show a distinctive buffy nape. Males have extensive white in the tail, especially visible in flight. Strictly nocturnal; single individuals are most often seen sitting on the ground at night, sallying up to catch flying insects. Listen for the song, which begins with a sharp 'pik' note, followed by a longer whistled 'seeeee,' ascending and then descending."
let this be a reminder that we have no business using commercial rodenticides in the unregulated way that we do & that rodenticides indiscriminately kill both invasive ‘pest’ rodents along with native species, and anything that might predate on them
