Pauraque( nightjar species) 🕊️

Описание: The pauraque
– also called the common pauraque to distinguish it from similar species – is a nightjar species, one of two birds in the genus Nyctidromus. It breeds in the subtropical and tropical of the New World, and except for northernmost birds it is largely resident all year round. 

Range

Common Pauraques are resident in Texas from near sea level to135 m (440 ft), possibly to 195 m (640 ft). This nightjar usually nests in Texas in open, brushy woodlands dominated by Texas ebony, mesquite or live oak.

Location

The breeding range of the common pauraque extends from southern Texas to the lower Paraná River region. Most populations are all-year residents, although the U.S. breeders (N. a. merrilli) may winter in eastern Mexico.
