[edit] Nightjar calls

I'm amazed that there is no mention here of the wonderful calls of these birds. Every reference books mentions the topic. Totnesmartin 21:50, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hummingbird Evolution study?

Should we add some mention about this new genetic study which seems to note that nightjars and hummingbirds are evolutionarily related? --Fshy (talk) 19:54, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

There is a discussion about the implications of that research at the WP:BIRD talk page. Very curious. Sabine's Sunbird talk 03:58, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

I dunno how to work this here electric box, but Nightjar is also an album by a guitarist from The Church (y'know - "Under the Milky Way"?) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.235.255.182 (talk) 21:54, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
