Is it a Chuck-will?
ETA: this was taken in a burb of Memphis.

Looks like a nighthawk without the white on tail. Maybe a juvenile

I’m really not sure.
Not a juvy though. 2 babies are behind it.
Fixing spell check

That is definitely a common nighthawk

That’s what the Merlin app returned (after I made this post).
Thanks. Never seen one before, well, I didn’t see this one. My son sent the pic.

You’ve probably seen them in the dark at some point.

The Merlin app says it is a Common Nighthawk

Yep, Common Nighthawk. They're one of my favorite birds, especially when flying. You can't mistake it for anything else when it dives and makes that sound. Sometimes you'll happen upon them during they day just chilling and sleeping on a fence post. They make their living at dawn and dusk.
Cool pic with young!

We had one in our hangar last week, juvenile like that and it ended up passing. Wonder if its just that time of the year the juveniles are leaving the nest or what is going on.

Nighthawk.
Hope it is ok.

I don't think that's a juvenile, it has young with it. Back right between the tail and railroad tie.

Look like a killdee has sex with an owl

Good catch, didn't see the little fuzz balls back there.

IDK but it's definitely calling someone safe
