Observation details

This nightjar flew to us and landed perhaps 20 feet away allowing very nice views in the gloaming with bins. Camera not so much. So these photos are "brightened" quite a bit making everything appear blue. As first it lay on the ground, but became "excited" as it started calling and actually stood up on its very short little legs!
