A weird little bird. Actually, not that little, close to a foot in length, but so well camouflaged we didn't see one that was right in front of our feet. Common pauraque, Rio Grande Valley, Texas.

Hiding in plain sight. A well-camouflaged common pauraque (a nightbird). They roost on the ground during the day and hunt insects at night. Texas USA. #Birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Lifer #Photography #Nature #Wildlife

The Common Pauraque by Debra Martz
Widespread in the Neotropics but ventures into the U.S. just at the southernmost tip of Texas.

Hearing their haunting, beautiful call in the middle of the night on a quiet country road will always be magical!

There are 13 birds with "Least" in the common name and none with "Most".
This seems to be an oversight.

Happy #CritterDay!! I was looking for a nesting Pauraque, but I found a bunny instead, and I'm not really mad about it. (I'm finding that Pauraque this winter, though!) #originalcontent #photography 📷🦊

Common Pauraque for #BirdOfTheDay
Camouflage.
If this looks obvious, try seeing without the scope 😂
Costa Rica, June 2024.

Probably the wrongest Merlin has ever been for me. No, I did not hear a great tinamou in Central Park. (Or a pauraque for that matter; both C/S.American birds)

More from Mexico; Streaked-backed Oriole, Ash-throated Flycatcher, Orange breasted bunting and Common Pauraque . Saw Humpbacked whales every other day and managed to fit in some birding before and after work, great trip.

A Common Pauraque, a nightjar species, sleeping near a trail. Great camouflage, very difficult to spot when on the ground under shrubs.🪶
