CLOSED: Difficult one.

Melbourne, FL

Two of these flying around, but my camera was not set right and all I got was this one lousy shot. I was thinking maybe Kestrel.

I think Common Nighthawk

I think you're right, Donna...if so that's one I've never seen before. Thanks. I'll leave this open till someone else concurs.

I'd say Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor) also, Donna, taking into consideration of the region, those lovely narrow wings, and the placement of the wing bar.

Sandusky, OH

Your may be just in range for the Antillean Nighthawk which also has the white bar on the wing. Common Nighthawk.

Melbourne, FL

Thanks, everyone. I did notice the very narrow wings as they were flying around.
