Description A companion to Quail and Quagga and Tern and Tarpan. There's a family of birds called "Goatsuckers" because supposedly they drank the milk of goats in the night. It includes the nightjars, like whippoorwills, and has nothing at all to do with chupacabras

Took it to the show. Three bird nerds got it. Fortunately, two of them bid on it, so it's all good.

5 x 7, mixed media, prints available for the bird nerd in your life! [link]

I find the fact that the bird looks like it has the most incredibly Tim Burton-esque smile on its face to be the best part. Or it might be a chinstripe, but it looks like an evil smile.

Heh-at first I was expecting a chupracabra--I forgot that this was a nickname for poorwills. That nickname used to confuse and puzzle me as a child. Also poorwills can actually be kind of creepy. Their eyes glow red in the dark.

THis is adorable though.
