OMG Stanley, that's showing such beautiful feather detail - what beautiful plumage he has, doesn't he.

A fab picture that my friend - thanks.

Gorgeous mottled brown plumage of this nighthawk. I supect, without seeing the full backdrop, that you did wonderfully well to spot this camouflage expert, Stanley.

Outstanding shot!
