Noho ʻia ko mākou Honua e kahi nui o nā mea ʻino a weliweli hoʻi, i waena o kahi e noho ai ka nightjar nunui i kahi hanohano. Hoʻonalonalo maikaʻi ka mea hahai holoholona, ke hoʻohui maoli nei me ka lāʻau āna i noho ai. Kuhi hewa nā mea he nui i hui me ka manu i ka nahelehele no kahi ʻōpala lāʻau a lālā paha. Eia kekahi, ʻo nā nightjars kekahi o nā mea e ʻimi holoholona pū kekahi i ke ao a i ka pō. Ke kali nei lākou no ka mea i hoʻomāinoino ʻia a lele kaua iā ia. Noho kahi manu ʻokoʻa ma ʻAmelika Hema a me Central, Haiti a me Jamaica.
Ho'ākāka laulā
ʻO kahi nunui nightjar kahi manu liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi ke kaupaona ʻia ma mua o 400 g. Hiki i kona lōʻihi o ke kino ke hōʻea i 55 knm. ʻO ke ʻano o ka plumage i nā kāne a me nā wahine ʻaneʻane like. Ma muli o ke poʻo ʻokoʻa a weliweli hoʻi o ka holoholona, a me nā maka makaʻu hoʻi, ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ka "ʻelele mai gehena." He nuku pōkole a ākea ko ka manu, nā ʻeheu nui a me ka huelo lōʻihi. Ma muli o ko lākou wāwae wāwae pōkole, nānā weliweli nā nightjars.
Manu ʻeleʻele nā manu o ka mea hao ma luna a palaʻeleʻele me nā kiko kiko a me nā kaha i lalo. ʻIke ʻia nā kahakaha transverse ma ka huelo a me nā hulu lele.
ʻO ka nightjar ulu lāʻau Gigantic
Ka nohona a me ka meaʻai
ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona nui o nā nightjars nunui ka hiki iā lākou ke hōʻano iā lākou iho. Akamai loa nā holoholona i kēia mea e noho nei ma ka lālā i wae ʻia, maopopo lākou i ko lākou "ʻike ʻole". Hoʻohui maikaʻi nā manu me nā lālā, no laila, ke hele kokoke mai nei iā lākou, ʻaʻole maʻalahi ke ʻike iā lākou. I ka wā huna, mai poina ka poʻe moe pō i ka nānā ʻana i nā mea āpau e hana ana a puni. ʻOiai me nā maka paʻa, nānā nā holoholona i ke kūlana (ʻaʻole lākou e pili paʻa i ko lākou mau maka a hāhai i ka poʻe a puni lākou ma o nā māwae i hana ʻia.
Makemake nā hale moe nunui e hoʻomaha ma nā lālā maloʻo o nā kumulāʻau (ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi no lākou e hūnā iā lākou iho). Ma ke ʻano he kūlana, hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka manu i mea e kau ai ke poʻo ma mua o ka hopena o ka uʻi. Hāʻawi kēia i ka manaʻo ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka lālā ma mua o ka maoli. I nā hola o ke ao, hoʻomaha hoʻomaha nā nightjars a makemake e hiamoe. I ka pō, hoʻopuka nā nightjars nunui i nā ʻūlū makaʻu. Ua like nā kani me nā ʻalalā hulu e ukali ʻia e nā auwē. A inā, me ka ʻuwā, ʻike ʻoe i nā maka melemele o ka manu, hiki iā ʻoe ke makaʻu kupaianaha. Hoʻohui, alakaʻi nā nightjars i kahi nohona hana i ka pō. He palaka lākou, wikiwiki a luhi ʻole hoʻi.
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole weliweli ka poʻe moe pō e like me ka manaʻo o kēlā me kēia. ʻAi nā manu i nā ʻelala no ka mea ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia ko lākou nuku no nā holoholona nui. I kēia mea, ʻahaʻaina nā manu i nā ahi ahi a me nā butterflies, i lawa no lākou. I ka ʻimi holoholona i ka pō, hoʻouka ka nightjars i nā ʻāpā. Ma waho aʻe o ko lākou helehelena weliweli a me nā leo makaʻu a nā manu e hana ai, ʻaʻole hoʻoweliweli nā holoholona i nā kānaka.
Hoʻopiʻi hou
Aia i ka wahi o ka nohona, hiki i nā manu ke hānau mai ʻApelila a Kekemapa. No nā holoholona monogamous ka nightjar nunui. I ka wā moena, kūkulu ka wahine a me nā kāne i ka pūnana i nā lāʻau haki, a ma hope e waiho wale ka wahine i hoʻokahi hua manu. Mālama nā mākua i ka pī e hiki mai ana. Ke hānau ʻia kahi pēpē, he kala ʻokoʻa kāna i ʻae iā ia e camouflage i ka nāhelehele, no laila e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻia kona palekana. Hoʻohui ʻia ka cub me ke kaiapuni e ʻae wale ka pūpū o kahi hua manu keʻokeʻo e ʻae iā ʻoe e loaʻa iā ia i loko o kahi ululāʻau pouli.
ʻIkepili Hoihoi
Hiki i ka ʻūheu o kahi nightjar nunui ke hiki i hoʻokahi mika. I kekahi mau hihia, hānai ka mea ʻaihuna pō i nā manu liʻiliʻi a me nā opeapea. Ua loaʻa ka inoa o ka holoholona i kona inoa ʻano ʻole ma muli o ka maʻa o ka hopu ʻana i nā kolo kokoke i nā pūʻā bipi, kao a me nā hipa. Lele mākaukau nā manu ma lalo o ka ʻōpū a i ʻole nā mākia o kahi māmele nui.
