Donald: Eurasian Starlings have a call that is similar to enough to Common Nighthawk to cause a person to retract a heard-only Common Nighthawk on a San Antonio Christmas Bird Count.

The Cornell Ornithology All About Birds sound bites of the Woodcock are similar enough to the Nighthawk. That said, 2 sets of ears heard the sound and it sounded much more like the All About Birds sound bite of nighthawk. It was probably a woodcock.
