abstract	The Ladder-tailed nightjar (Hydropsalis climacocerca), is a species of nightjar in the Caprimulgidae family. It is found in the Amazon Basin of Brazil with the Guianas, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and also Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia; it is also in Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, rivers, and freshwater lakes. This bird is highly camouflaged and has the colors of 'ground cover', as do most of the nightjars. The colors are broken with white patches, grays, both dark, and light, and some brown, especially around the neck and head. Many of the nightjar species also have the distraction display, which helps lead unwary predators farther distances from the nest, young, or eggs. As a species that hunts airborne insects, etc. at night, its large eyes are noteworthy; a large wide mouth also goes along with this feeding strategy.
