Description

I don’t know what I did - the portrait shoot was going fine and then I get screamed at. I had taken several photographs from the Common Nighthawk’s left side, then I repositioned myself for a different angle and I got this reaction. And the sound of the high-pitch screech was unexpected to say the least.

You can see that the Common Nighthawk has a rather small beak, but I had no idea it has such a big mouth. A Mighty Mouth indeed.

This portrait shoot of the young Common Nighthawk took place about five miles south of Long Pine, Nebraska. The screech was probably heard in Long Pine as well.

With all seriousness, I have photographed several Common Nighthawks over the last several years and I am amazed at how tolerant they are to humans in general.
