Nightjar
Built for twilight insect-hunting
Built for twilight insect-hunting
The sprinting cuckoo of the desert
Tawny flocks, whistled calls
Red mask, gold wing, thistle king.
The feather-legged hover-hunter
The rainforest turkey with jeweled eyes
A sky-giant with a giraffe-long neck
From raptors to robins: all theropod
Alberta's long-necked sea swimmer
Beaks, frills, and horns: Ceratopsia!
Peaked crown, big rafts, true diver
Built for deep dives, born to roam
The "quiet" duck with a bright wing flash
Yellow-bellied tyrant of the fence line
Hear the whistle, save the fields.
Hear the whistler, spot the gold eye
The prairie bird with scissors for a tail
Whistling wings, tundra to tidewater
Spears fish, then sun-dries in style
Two morphs, one Arctic traveler
Songbird with a raptor's toolbox
Small duck, big tail attitude
The tree-nesting duck with a leap
The whistling "tree duck" with style
