Feeding Young Nighthawks! The common nighthawk eats while flying, so we have to hand feed them while in our care. Nighthawks are nocturnal birds in the nightjar family. They fly through the air at night and open their huge mouths to gather large amounts of bugs and gobble them down. #wildliferescue #wildliferehab #keepaustinwild #austintx #austinwildlife #commonnighthawk #nighthawk #lotsofbugs #handfeeding #eatasfastasyoucan #nightjarfamily | Austin Wildlife Rescue
