Why it matters
The Rufous-cheeked Nightjar is a master of camouflage, relying on its mottled plumage to blend seamlessly into the leaf litter of its woodland habitat. Ornithologists particularly prize observations of this species for its distinct, repetitive call, which serves as a vital marker for its presence during the nocturnal hours in Southern and Central Africa.
