Says it's the first report for Argentina. Do you know how close they've come before? Ebird map suggests they're normally only in northern S. America at best.

Wow, that is a find!

I have found a paper saying that the Antillean Nighthawk winters in the Amazonas. https://bit.ly/2On17wo

Here also the registry on eBird with a recording of the voice. https://ebird.org/argentina/checkli...MNkX6bDACB9zxl-80-SXTDi3KYJ6GDf_hWVi5cy4WZDHw

I'd be interested to know how they ID'd it, was it calling? They're supposedly inseperable from Common Nighthawk unless heard, I know because I found a first for Tobago which was one or the other.

Yes says it was by call

Hello. The Antillean Nighthawk that was seen in Feliciano, Argentina, in the summer of 2021, returned to that place in 2022. But he was not seen or heard there in 2023.

It was only ever one individual, correct? Or were more ever found in N AR?

 

[RaulSp]

3 individuals were detected in 2021 and 3 in 2022
