QUÉ SIGNIFICA GOATSUCKER EN INGLÉS

Nightjar

Nightjar

Los Nightjars son aves nocturnas o crepusculares de tamaño mediano de la familia Caprimulgidae, caracterizadas por largas alas, piernas cortas y billetes muy cortos. A veces se les llama chorlitos, debido a la antigua historia popular que chuparon la leche de las cabras. Algunas especies del Nuevo Mundo se llaman nighthawks. Nightjars generalmente anidan en el suelo. La palabra inglesa 'nightjar' se refería originalmente al Nightjar Europeo. Nightjars se encuentran en todo el mundo. Son en su mayoría activos en la tarde y temprano por la mañana o por la noche, y se alimentan predominantemente en las polillas y otros insectos voladores grandes. La mayoría tiene pies pequeños, de poca utilidad para caminar, y largas alas puntiagudas. Su plumaje suave es crípticamente coloreado para parecerse a la corteza oa las hojas. Algunas especies, inusuales para los pájaros, se posan a lo largo de una rama, en lugar de cruzarla. Esto ayuda a ocultarlos durante el día. Bracken es su hábitat preferido. El Malo común Phalaenoptilus nuttallii es único como un pájaro que experimenta una forma de hibernación, tornándose torpe y con una temperatura corporal muy reducida durante semanas o meses, aunque otros nightjars pueden entrar en un estado de torpor por períodos más cortos.

Nightjars are medium-sized nocturnal or crepuscular birds in the family Caprimulgidae, characterized by long wings, short legs and very short bills. They are sometimes called goatsuckers, due to the ancient folk tale that they sucked the milk from goats. Some New World species are called nighthawks. Nightjars usually nest on the ground. The English word 'nightjar' originally referred to the European Nightjar. Nightjars are found around the world. They are mostly active in the late evening and early morning or at night, and feed predominantly on moths and other large flying insects. Most have small feet, of little use for walking, and long pointed wings. Their soft plumage is cryptically coloured to resemble bark or leaves. Some species, unusual for birds, perch along a branch, rather than across it. This helps to conceal them during the day. Bracken is their preferred habitat. The Common Poorwill, Phalaenoptilus nuttallii is unique as a bird that undergoes a form of hibernation, becoming torpid and with a much reduced body temperature for weeks or months, although other nightjars can enter a state of torpor for shorter periods.
