Identification

Common Nighthawk is very similar to Antillean Nighthawk; a thread discussing the differences is found among the External Links.

Distribution and taxonomy

One subspecies is breeding in south Central America between Honduras and Panama, the other seven subspecies breed between Canada and middle Mexico. All subspecies are migrants wintering (as far as this is known) in South America.
