Why it matters
The Gray Nightjar (*Caprimulgus jotaka*) is a master of camouflage, featuring plumage that mimics tree bark to remain nearly invisible during its daytime roosting. This elusive nocturnal bird is prized by enthusiasts for its unique silhouette in flight, defined by rounded wings and a distinct square tail that set it apart from other species in its family.
