The Blackish Nightjar is a forest-dwelling nocturnal bird, characterized by its relatively dark plumage that provides excellent concealment in the shadows of its habitat. It is a specialist in hunting insects at night.
Where to spot
Found in South America, particularly in humid lowland forests and forest edges.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive calls at night, which are often the best way to detect its presence. Try to observe it in flight at twilight. Spotting it during the day requires patience and searching its forested habitat very carefully.
When to spot
Active from dusk through the night, when it forages for insects. It roosts camouflaged within the forest understory or on the ground during the day.

Its dark coloration helps it blend into the deep shadows of the forest, making it particularly difficult to spot even with a spotlight.
