Nacunda Nighthawk (Chordeiles nacunda) - 15&22Aug2022

For some inexplicable reason this species was at the top of my list when I went to Brazil. I had missed them in Colombia in 2019 and I am a sucker for any bird in the goat-sucker family.  These nighthawks are huge as far as nighthawks go.  We first saw them in the southern Pantanal flying over a field on our way back after a long day of birding.  Then in the northern Pantanal we found a wet field full of them roosting in broad daylight!
