This bird can grow wing feathers longer than its own body, creating one of the strangest flight silhouettes in the bird world.
During breeding season, this bird flies low over African grasslands with giant feather streamers trailing behind like ribbons in the air. Even with those dramatic feathers, this bird is still incredibly agile while chasing flying insects at dusk and during the night.
Outside breeding season, those extreme feathers disappear completely, making this bird look far more ordinary than most people would expect. Pennant-winged Nightjar 👍
