Observation details
Heard a nightjar calling repeatedly starting at 8:29pm. Two note call, with a quick first note and then a longer second note that descended in pitch. More energetic than a Common Poorwill. I attempted an audio recording with my phone. If you turn the volume up with headphones you can hear the call, although the bird was a good distance back from the road and unfortunately there's a lot of ambient noise. I've heard Common Pauraques a number of times down in the valley in south Texas so I recognized the call when I heard it. Although I was out searching specifically for nightjars, I certainly wasn't expecting a pauraque. I'm super excited about this bird being in Hays County! GPS of where I heard the bird from: 29.768907, -97.997489
