The Common Poorwill is a ground-dwelling, nocturnal, flying-bug-eating bird that is closely related to the Eastern Whip-poor-will. A migratory native of Montana, Common Poorwills rank among the least understood avian species. That's due largely to their love of the nightlife, a fondness for remote, rugged areas, and an almost supernatural ability to camouflage themselves during the day.
