Breeds in the West Indies and southern Florida.<\/strong>\u00a0 Wintering grounds unknown, presumably in South America.<\/p>

Breeding.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Breeds in the Florida Keys, the Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, Cuba and some of its keys, the Isle of Youth, Jamaica, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guadeloupe.\u00a0 May also breed locally or sporadically in the Leeward Islands. \u00a0Common but localized across most of its breeding range, occurring mainly in dry scrub, savannahs, salt pans, and urban areas (nesting on flat, graveled roofs).<\/p>

Movements.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Arrives on its breeding grounds in March and April, and departs between August and October.\u00a0 There are scattered records of migrants from Aruba, Cura\u00e7ao, and the Lesser Antilles, but no well documented records from South America\u2014although the entire world population evidently winters there.\u00a0 Spring overshoots have been recorded north to Louisiana, North Carolina, and Bermuda.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Identification<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Very similar to Common Nighthawk, which migrates throughout Antillean\u2019s range\u2014best distinguished by voice.\u00a0 Also resembles Lesser Nighthawk, which likely overlaps widely with it during migration and winter.<\/p>

Has a typical nighthawk pattern of cryptically mottled upperparts and paler, barred underparts.\u00a0 Within those parameters, its plumage is highly variable.\u00a0 Some sources refer to the existence of rufous and gray \u201cmorphs,\u201d but photographic evidence portrays a broad spectrum of appearances.\u00a0 The mottling can be either speckled or leaflike, and the coloration ranges from mostly white-and-black to pale gray to rich rufous-and-brown.<\/p>

Like its closest relatives, has prominent white bands across the primaries, visible mainly in flight.\u00a0 The band is somewhat closer to the wingtip than to the wrist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
