The Puerto Rican Nightjar is an endangered nightjar species endemic to the dry forests of Puerto Rico, a symbol of conservation efforts.
Where to spot
Endemic to the southwestern dry forests of Puerto Rico, particularly in coastal scrub and dry limestone forests.
How to spot
Primarily detected by its distinctive, repetitive call, often described as a loud 'whip.' Finding it visually is challenging due to its rarity and camouflage; use a spotlight in suitable habitat at night and listen carefully.
When to spot
Strictly nocturnal, most active at dusk and dawn. It roosts quietly and camouflaged during the day.
