Observation details
Flying directly over, from ENE to WSW at 1510 CDT, prob. at ca. 50 m altitude (not low, but not super-high either). I spotted the bird flying toward my location, realized it was a nighthawk, and immediately threw the camera up to get photos. Male (white throat, white wing band). From Common Nighthawk by P10 shorter than P9; white wing band positioned distally, toward wingtips, and much white on outer web of P10; buffy-rufous spotting on undersides of inner primaries.
