This bird, known as a Common Nighthawk, is an uncommon patient at our wildlife rehabilitation hospital. These birds present unique challenges in care — unlike many other species, nighthawks feed on the wing, catching insects mid-flight. This means they won’t eat food left in a dish. Instead, we must hand-feed them, with the hope that they’ll eventually allow us to place food into their wide, delicate beaks.Why did this nighthawk need our help?
