The Dusky Nightjar is a species known for its darker, more somber plumage compared to many of its relatives, providing excellent concealment.
Where to spot
Primarily found in the mountains of Central America, from Costa Rica to western Panama. It inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests.
How to spot
Listen for its distinct vocalizations in its montane forest habitat. Use a spotlight at night to scan for individuals on the ground or low perches, as it can be well-hidden.
When to spot
Active during the night, especially during crepuscular periods, when it forages and vocalizes.

Its darker coloration is perfectly adapted for providing excellent camouflage within the shaded, often damp, forest undergrowth that it inhabits.
