Nightjars are birds from a family of night-flying aerial insectivores found around the world. Though they're nocturnal but are most active at dusk and dawn. Hence, crepuscular is the appropriate word to describe their habit. Nightjars forage through the night catching moths and other large flying insects. Masters of camouflage, Savanna Nightjars breed and roost on the ground.
Dry deciduous forest.
