Nighttime Shenanigans - This Pauraque Knows How to Party in the Brazilian Wilderness!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, we catch a glimpse of the wild side as a mischievous Pauraque (Nyctidromus albicollis) takes center stage. With its feathers blending seamlessly into the night, this adult bird is caught red-handed sitting on the ground at Pouso Alegre, Mato Grosso, Brazil. As darkness falls over the lush Brazilian nature, our feathered friend embraces its nocturnal nature and unleashes its inner party animal. Known for their vibrant nightlife antics, Pauraques are notorious for turning up when everyone else is winding down. With an air of mystery surrounding it, this common yet enchanting creature adds a touch of magic to South America's tropical landscape. Its presence serves as a reminder that even in the depths of night, life thrives under moonlit skies. Native to Central and South America's neotropics region, these charismatic birds belong to a family known as "nightjars". Their unique call echoes through the trees like whispers from another world—a symphony only heard by those who venture out after sunset. So next time you find yourself wandering through Mato Grosso's wilderness during September nights, keep your eyes peeled for these neo-tropical party animals. They'll be there—dancing under starry skies and reminding us all that life truly begins when daylight fades away!
