The Quechuavis Nightjar refers to a specific type or historical classification within the broader nightjar family, representing a group with similar nocturnal habits and cryptic plumage. It is an aerial insectivore found in South America.
Where to spot
Primarily found in South America, particularly in Andean regions or associated open and semi-open habitats within its broader taxonomic context.
How to spot
Listen for its vocalizations at night. Observe its flight patterns against the twilight sky. During the day, search carefully for its well-camouflaged form on the ground or low perches in its preferred habitat.
When to spot
Active at dusk, dawn, and throughout the night when foraging for insects. It is highly camouflaged and difficult to spot during the day.
