Why it matters
The Indian Nightjar (Caprimulgus asiaticus) is a master of camouflage, utilizing its broad wings and rounded tail to navigate silently through the scrublands and open forests of South Asia. Known for its distinct, repetitive call often described as a series of rhythmic clicks, this nocturnal bird is a fascinating example of how specialized plumage and behavior allow a species to thrive in the shadows.
