Re: The Camouflaged Common Potoo Bird
We have one in the U.K. it's called a Nightjar. Potoo, Frogmouth and Nightjars are quite closely related. |

Re: The Camouflaged Common Potoo Bird
never heard of the term 'nightjar' before... here we call the same bird a 'night hawk' and i've heard people call it a 'goatsucker' before  |

Re: The Camouflaged Common Potoo Bird
Well Nighthawks are the Nightjars of the new world. They only differ slightly.

Re: The Camouflaged Common Potoo Bird
that's what i read.. i just didnt know that.  i dont know much about night hawks really... since i dont see them often (i hear them at dusk and see them catching bug way up high but that's about it. i never see them land or perched)... and i never understood the 'goatsucker' thing until i looked it up today.  |

Re: The Camouflaged Common Potoo Bird
They're crepuscular (I think that's how you spell it, great word but you have to be careful how you spell it )
