Name: Nightjar by Wildlife Sound Recording
Duration: 1 min 20 s
Description: Listen to the Wildlife Sound Recording Society's July Sound of the Month. Nightjars are nocturnal birds and can be seen hawking for food at dusk and dawn. With pointed wings and a long tails their shape is similar to a kestrel or cuckoo. The first indication that a nightjar is near is usually the male's churring song, rising and falling with a ventriloquial quality.

Nice recording, greetings from El Salvador, check my wildlife recordings.

Great recording, especially as its the whole call.

wow that is the longest bird song I ever herded...  the song of a WHIPPOOWILL

Ellen Windemuth, Wildlife Legend on Filmmaking & Conservation

James Manfull is the executive producer for Love Nature, and in a previous life, a producer for Nat Geo’s Natural History Unit.  He and Peter Hamilton answer the question: What does an executive producer for a wildlife film actually do?? James shares his day-to-day responsibilities-- from concept evaluation to delivery -- as the EP of Jacob Steinberg's SEASON OF THE OSPREY for PBS NATURE. He compares Osprey to more typical projects in his pipeline that are greenlit before substantial field cinematography begins.  James asks Peter how he became involved in Jacob’s film, and what were his key contributions as co- executive producer.  Read / listen to more at SeasonoftheOsprey.com and DocumentaryBusinees.com.
