Two Sennett's nighthawks were admitted to the Wildlife Rehab Center (a southern subspecies). Bob Russell provided the i.d. They are not leucistic common nighthawks.

We were fascinated by the birds since they were extremely pale in coloration, something typically referred to as leucism (pronounced loo-kism, from the Greek "leukos" meaning "white"). One of the birds is shown above and at left. Its markings were absolutely stunning. The real story of the birds? They were Sennett's nighthawks and rarely seen in Minnesota. In fact, the donation of the specimen created quite a stir at the UMN's scientific collection today.
