ʻO ka nightjar pohihihi a ʻike ʻole pinepine ʻole ʻia ka lālā wale nō o kēia ʻohana pohihihi o nā manu. Lele ka nightjar i nā pūnaewele pūnana mai ka hopena o ʻApelila, akā ʻo ka pinepine i Mei, ʻo ka hōʻailona mua o ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana he mele mele eerie ia, e hīmeni ai nā kāne ma nā lālā ma kāna ʻāina.
Pehea e mele ai ka nightjar
ʻO kēlā me kēia ʻāpana o ke mele he mau minuke ka lōʻihi, me kahi mau pōkole ʻoi aku ka pōkole akā ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o ka holo ʻana ma kahi o ka hapalua kekona. Hoʻopuka ka manu i kēia mau trill pokole ke hanu ia. Hoʻomaopopo kēia i kāna hīmeni ʻana no kahi lōʻihi me ka kū ʻole. Aia ma loko o kēia mau paukū nā 1,900 mau memo i kēlā me kēia minuke, a hiki i nā birdwatchers ke hoʻomaopopo i kēlā me kēia manu ma ke kālailai ʻana i ke alapine o nā trills a me ka lōʻihi o nā māmalaʻōlelo.
Ke kono aku nei mākou iā ʻoe e hoʻolohe i ka leo o ka nightjar
He aha nā meaʻai a ka pō e ʻai ai i ke kūlohelohe
ʻO nā kolo, ʻo ia hoʻi nā pulelehua a me nā nalo, e hana i ka hapa nui o ka papa ʻaina nightjar, no laila e hānai pinepine kēia ʻano i ka wanaʻao a i ke ahiahi ʻana, ke hana nui nā ʻeneka. Hoʻohālike nā nightjars me nā falcon i ka helehelena, a like me kēia mau manu lele, hiki iā lākou ke huli wikiwiki i ka lewa a luʻu.
ʻElua ala nui o nā nightjars e hānai ai:
- "Trawling", ke lele ka manu i hope a i hope, hopu i nā kolo i hele mai i ke ala;
- "Attack", noho ka manu ma luna o ka lālā a kali no kahi lele a i ʻole nalo e lele.
Nui nā ākea o ka Nightjars, ākea ākea ma ko lākou nuku, kahi e pili ai nā "bristles" paʻakikī - ʻaneʻane nā hulu manu ʻole - ulu a puni e kōkua i nā manu e hopu pono i kā lākou mea pio.
Pehea ʻike ai nā nightjars, nā hiʻohiʻona o ka hihiʻo
He maka maka ko nā manu āpau, aia nā maka nunui ma nā ʻaoʻao o ke poʻo, kahi e hāʻawi ai i kahi nānā maikaʻi āpau. ʻAʻohe cones ma ka retina, ʻoiai ʻaʻole pono nā manu i ka hihi kala a ma kahi o nā koʻokoʻo-ʻiʻo-neʻe. ʻO ka papa membrane ma hope o ka retina, i kapa ʻia ʻo ka tapetum, hōʻike i ke kukui i hala i nā koʻokoʻo ma waena o ka retina, e hāʻawi ana i nā maka o ka nightjar i keu keu. ʻO kēia papa kēia e hoʻomālamalama i nā maka o ka manu ma lalo o nā kukui uila.
Nā pāʻani moena o nā nightjars
I ka pāleo ʻana, lele ka kāne kāne i ke kaila "hoʻouka", hoʻololi i ka lele ʻana o nā ʻeheu me ka lele ʻana o nā ʻeheu i kekahi manawa, ka lele ʻana me nā ʻeheu i hāpai ʻia a me ka huelo i lalo. I loko o kēia hana, ʻike maopopo ʻia nā kiko keʻokeʻo kokoke i nā piko o nā ʻeheu a ma lalo o ka huelo o ke kāne. Inā piha ka mahina i ka mua o Iune, a laila kokoke nā hoa moe pō i kēlā lā. Mālama kēia i ka mahina piha e hiki mai ana, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā kūlana no ka hopu ʻana i nā mea kolo no ka hānai ʻana i ka ʻōpio.
Inā hoʻoweliweli ʻia nā nightjars me ka luku ʻia
ʻO ka helu o nā nightjars i koho ʻia ma 930,000-2,100,000, akā e emi ana nā helu a me nā helu, keu hoʻi ma ka ʻĀkau Komohana a me ka ʻĀkau o ʻEulopa. ʻO ka emi ʻana o ka ʻāina neoneo a me ka helu o nā kolo paha nā kumu no ka nalo ʻana o nā nightjars mai kekahi mau wahi, akā ke hoʻonui hou nei ka heluna kanaka i kēia manawa.
Pehea e loaʻa ai kahi nightjar i kona wahi noho
ʻO nā wahi wao haʻahaʻa a me nā wahi hou e nāhelehele ʻia nā wahi i makemake ʻia no kēia laha. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa mau nā Nightjars a puni ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā, e mele ana no hoʻokahi hola ma hope o ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā a ma mua hoʻi o ka puka ʻana o ka lā. Hiki iā lākou ke lohe ʻia ma kahi mamao o 200 mau mika, a i kekahi manawa a i kahi kilomita. ʻO nā pō mehana a me nā lā maloʻo ka manawa kūpono loa e hoʻolohe ai i ke mele nightjar.
Hele pinepine nā manu e nānā i ka malihini. ʻO nā paʻi palupalu e hoʻohālike i nā pale ʻēheu e hoʻohihi i nā nightjars, akā ʻo ke ʻano kūleʻa loa ka nalu ʻana i kahi hainaka keʻokeʻo ma ka lōʻihi o ka lima. Hoʻohālike kēia neʻe i ka lele ʻana o nā ʻēheu keʻokeʻo o ke kāne a ʻumeʻume i ka manu. Mai hoʻohana i nā leo me nā mele nightjars, no ka mea he hopena maikaʻi ʻole kēia i kā lākou hana hou ʻana.
