Description:

This bird is native to Florida, and is a brown color. This species has mottled brownish under parts, a buff throat, reddish-brown feathers lined with black, and brown and white patterning on head and chest, differing from the gray and black of its more common cousin. Males have patches of white on their outer tail feathers. It is the largest nightjar in North America. In length, it ranges from 28 to 33 cm (11 to 13 in).

Habitat:

I found this bird in the Everglades, Florida.
