: Bird safely delivered to raptor rehab doctor in neighboring town. The doctor had no idea why this adult bird was grounded, but hoped to release him into the wild in days.]I always thought a Night Hawk was a chain of restaurants in the Austin area, or a frozen dinner by the same name which frequented many a Mr. Peabody dinner table.
However, after a somewhat violent thunderstorm early this morning, this thing (right) ended up in my yard unable to fly. At first, I thought it was a robin. But photos sent to the local authorities revealed that the bird is a Night Hawk. 
Last I heard from home, it is in a towel in my house. Did I mention I have two cats?
