Observation details
This adult Poorwill startled me as it flew up almost at my feet. It flew about twenty feet away and begin fluttering its wings. Then it flew farther way, disappearing. I walked on, but then considered that it might be doing a distracting move away from a nest. On the way back, I had to come through the same area to get through the brush. Once again, same behavior, but this time I looked and found two small chicks. They never moved. There were areas of new feathers coming in. I quickly took two photos and moved on.
