| Here is a little game that we played in the Rio Grand Valley of Texas called find the Pauraque. |
 |
| This bird in the nightjar family hunts by night and sleeps by day. It has a very large mouth, good for raking in large insects in flight, they have also been known eat the occasional bat (big mouth). |

| Not a Pauraque |
 |
| A similar bird also frequents the woods behind my house in Austin, Texas. The male Chuck-will’s-widow makes repetitive calls late at night similar to the more familiar Eastern Whip-poor-will, all part of the same family of night birds. Chuck-wills-widow |
