River island in the Rio Aguarico on the Ecuador(Sucumbíos)-Peru(Loreto) border.
Part of a flock of 40 or so birds roosting on driftwood. In Ecuador this species is found only along major rivers in the Amazon basin, though apparently elsewhere in its range it also inhabits marshes.
Seen during day in large groups along major rivers resting on rocks, driftwood, or trees. Note black tip to wing feathers compared to larger [Nacunda Nighthawk] which has a white band that reaches end of the tail feathers.
