On Facebook, National Audubon Society posted a nice picture. Pretty
dramatic looking. They say they are related to night hawks, and I
learned to recognize night hawks very early in life. I assume they are
both birds that fly around scooping bugs out of the air.

Though they have all most likely migrated for this year, I have seen and
especially heard them up on the North Shore. Tetegouche State Park is a good
place. They also can be found in South Eastern Mn, but are more difficult to
find. Roseau WMA in Roseau county has them as well.
They readily respond to recordings in the spring and once they start calling
they frequently call for quite some time. They are very nocturnal. Shine a
light towards the bird calling and the reflection from their eyes is quite
stunning.

Cornell's map for wpw shows all of MN as its range. I've never heard it nor
heard of it over the years. Where are people seeing it?
