Common Pauraque

ABA 2

(Nyctidromus albicollis)

The North American range of the nocturnal insectivorous Common Pauraque is limited to the southern tip of Texas. It is so perfectly camouflaged when sleeping among leaves on the ground that it is not unusual to be looking right at the bird and not see it.
