Ka wehewehe a me ka nohona o ka nightjar
ʻAʻole ʻike koke ʻia ʻo Nightjar. He manu kēia me kahi waihoʻoluʻu pale maikaʻi loa, ma muli o ke ʻano o ka nightjar ka haku o ka hoʻohuli. Mai luna mai ua pena ʻia i ka hina ʻeleʻele, kūʻē i ke kua o laila nā laina, nā kiko, nā convolutions o melemele, ʻeleʻele, nā lauʻeleʻele.
ʻEleʻele ʻeleʻele ka umauma moa me nā kaha pōkole o kahi leo māmā. Loaʻa i nā ʻeheu ʻelua, ke poʻo, a me ka hiʻu i kahi hiʻohiʻona e hūnā pono i ka manu i nā mea kanu. Aia i ke kala o ka plumage, mahele ʻia nā manu i 6 ʻano moe moe, e noho ana i nā wahi like ʻole. ʻO ka kino hulu he 26 cm ka lōʻihi, ʻo ka huelo he 12 cm, a ʻo nā ʻeheu he ʻaneʻane 20 cm.
Nui nā maka o ka manu, poepoe, ʻeleʻele. Liʻiliʻi ka nuku ʻoiai ua paʻa ia. Akā nui ka waha o ka nightjar pono - pono pū ʻo ia e hopu i nā kolo i ka pō, i ka lele ʻana. Hoʻopuni ʻia ka nuku e ka liʻiliʻi, akā ʻo ka hulu ikaika, kahi e hoʻopili ai nā mea kolo a komo pololei i ka waha o ka manu.
Ma muli o nā lauoho lauoho a puni ka waha, ua kapa ʻia ka nightjar i ka retikulum.
Ua like ka leo o kēia manu me ka halulu o kahi kaʻa kauō, a ʻokoʻa loa i ka mele ʻana o nā manu ʻē aʻe. I ka lewa, ʻuā nā leo o ka pō i nā pū waikaua, hiki iā lākou ke kaniʻuhū, kaomi a paʻi liʻiliʻi paha.
ʻAʻole kamaʻāina ka helehelena hulu. A koe, manu pō, manuʻo kēia ka pō. ʻO kāna walaʻau ʻana i ka pō maʻamau a me nā lele kūmau i ka lani pō i pāʻani pū me ia - he kūlana hewa ka poʻe iā ia, a ʻo nā pueo kekahi.
E hoʻolohe i ka leo o ka nightjar
Ua ʻōlelo ʻia e ka moʻoʻō e hānai kēia manu i ka waiū a pau mai nā kao i ka pō a hana i ka makapō iā lākou Eia no ke aha i kapa ʻia ai kēia manu he nightjar. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, aia nō, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻohe mea o ke ʻano. ʻO kēia hulu kahi lunamakaʻāinana o nā manu ʻimi manu i ka pō, ka mea e hoʻowalewale ʻia e nā mea kolo e hoʻopuni ana i nā holoholona.
ʻOluʻolu kēia manu i nā ululāʻau mahana a mehana paha o ʻEulopa a me Komohana a me ʻAkia Waena. Noho pinepine ma ʻAkau-ʻĀkau ʻApelika. Noho ʻo ia ma nā mokupuni o Balearic, Pelekania, Corsica, Sardinia, Sisilia, hiki ke loaʻa ma Kupero a me Crete. Loaʻa iā ia ma Caucasus.
ʻAʻole makaʻu ka Nightjar i nā wahi noho; lele pinepine ia ma kahi kokoke i nā mahiʻai a me nā peni pipi. Ua ala kēia i ka kaao o kona inoa. ʻOiai, i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, hiki ke wehewehe maʻalahi ʻia kēia - ʻai i ka nightjar nā kolo wale, a kolo pinepine i nā holoholona, kā lākou meaʻai a me nā ʻōpala. ʻIke ia ma kahi kokoke i nā mahiʻai ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka nightjar e alualu ai.
ʻAʻole makemake kēia luna hulu o nā ululāʻau nunui iā ia - me kona ʻēheu i waena o nā lālā pinepine, paʻakikī iā ia e hoʻokele. ʻAʻole makemake ʻo ia i nā wahi pohō. Akā haku maʻalahi ka nightjar i ka ʻāina kiʻekiʻe. Ma nā kuahiwi Caucasus, hiki ke piʻi i 2500 m, a ma ʻApelika ua ʻike ʻia ma kahi kiʻekiʻe o 5000 m.
Ke ʻano a me ka nohona o ka nightjar
He manu pō ʻo Nightjar. Hoʻomaka ka ola piha o kahi nightjar me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka pouli. I ka lā, hoʻomaha ʻo ia ma nā lālā lāʻau a i ʻole iho i lalo i nā mauʻu maloʻo, kahi e ʻike ʻole ʻia. A i ka pō wale nō e lele ai ka manu e ʻimi holoholona.
He mea hoihoi ia ma nā lālā ʻaʻole hoʻonohonoho ʻia e like me nā manu maʻamau - ma o ka lālā, akā pū. No ka hoʻohuli ʻoi aku, pani ʻo ia i kona mau maka. I ka manawa like, hui nui ia me ke kala o ka lāʻau a paʻakikī loa e ʻike iā ia, ke ʻole e kuʻi kuʻi ʻole ʻia i loko.
Noho ʻia i loko o nā ululāʻau paina, hiki i nā nightjars ke hūnā maʻalahi iā lākou iho e like me ke kala o ka kumu lāʻau
Lele ia e like me ka nightjar hāmau, maʻalahi a wikiwiki hoʻi. I ka lele ʻana, lālau ʻo ia i ka mea pio, no laila pono ʻo ia e hoʻopololei a hana me ka wikiwiki o ka uila i ke ʻano o kahi kolo. Eia kekahi, hiki iā ia ke kau ma kahi wahi no kahi manawa lōʻihi.
I ka wā o ka lele ʻana, ʻike maopopo ʻia kahi huelo ololi a me nā ʻeheuʻoiʻoi, a he mea hauʻoli maoli nō ke nānā pono ʻana i ka lele ʻana. ʻO kāna ʻimi e kūʻē i ke kua o ka lani e like me ka hulina hāmau. ʻAʻole hiki i nā mea āpau ke mahalo i kēlā lele ʻana, hūnā ʻia ka manu, a ʻokoʻa, alakaʻi ia i kahi nohona nocturnal.
Akā ma ka honua e neʻe awīwī loa ia. ʻO kēia ke kumu o nā wāwae o ka nightjar pōkole, ʻaʻole i kūpono i ka hele wāwae, a nāwaliwali loa nā manamana wāwae no kēia. Inā loaʻa ka makaʻu, hūnā kahi nightjar iā ia iho ma ke ʻano he ʻāina kūloko. Eia naʻe, inā ʻaʻole holo pono kēia, a laila lele ka manu i luna, pale i ka alualu.
ʻO ka meaʻai maikaʻi ʻo Nightjar
ʻAi ʻia i ka nightjar nā pepelu wale nō, kēia manu ʻoi aku ka makemake i nā pepelu lele. ʻO nā ʻano pulelehua āpau, nā nalo, nā butterflies ka papaʻai nui o ka nightjar. Eia nō naʻe, inā he nūpā, nalo, namu a i ʻole he ʻūheu i loaʻa, ʻaʻole lele ka mea ʻimi holoholona i ka pō.
I kekahi manawa ʻālohilohi nā maka o ka nightjar, hiki ke wehewehe ʻia kēia hanana e ke kukui aniani, akā "hoʻomālamalama" ka manu iā lākou i nā manawa a pau e makemake ai, no laila ʻaʻohe mea nāna i wehewehe ka ʻōlinolino.
Hoʻololi ʻia ke kinona holoʻokoʻa o ka manu no ka ʻai ʻana i ka pō - nā maka nunui a me ka waha nui, i hala i hiki ʻole i kahi lele (i ke ʻano maoli o ka huaʻōlelo) ke lele, a me nā hulu a puni ka nuku. I mea e hiki ai ke ʻai i ka ʻai ʻoi aku, ale ka nightjar i nā ʻiliʻili liʻiliʻi a i ʻole ke one.
Inā ʻaʻole ʻai ʻia ka meaʻai, regurgitates ʻo ia iā ia, e like me kekahi manu ʻē aʻe - pueo a i ʻole falcons. Hopu ʻo ia i ka mea lele i ka lele, akā i kekahi manawa e ʻimi ʻo ia mai ka lālā. E ʻimi i ka pō, akā inā he nui nā meaʻai, hiki i ka manu ke hoʻomaha.
ʻO ka hana hou a me ke ola o kahi nightjar
Mai Mei a Iulai (e pili ana i ka nohona o ka manu), hana ʻia ka moʻa. ʻO ka mea mua, ʻelua mau pule ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana o ka wahine, hōʻea ke kāne o ka nightjar i ka wahi pūnana. E huki i ka manaʻo o ka wahine, hoʻomaka ka nightjar e lele, lele i kona mau ʻeheu a hōʻike i kona mākau i ka lele.
ʻO ka wahine, ua koho ʻo ia i pālua nāna, e lele a puni i nā wahi kahi e hiki ai iā ia ke hoʻopaʻa i kahi paʻa. ʻAʻole kūkulu kēia mau manu i nā pūnana. Ke ʻimi nei lākou i kahi ma ka honua kahi e hoʻopili ʻia ai nā lau, ka mauʻu a me nā ʻano lālā like ʻole, kahi e waiho ai nā hua. E hatch ka wahine i nā moa ma ka honua, e hui pū me ka uhi lepo.
Ke loaʻa kēia wahi, loaʻa ka moena ma laila. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, waiho ka wahine nightjar i mau hua 2 a hoʻouluulu iā lākou iho. ʻOiaʻiʻo, hiki i ke kāne kāne ke pani hou iā ia. ʻAʻole hānau hānau keikikāne, ua uhi ʻia lākou me ka fluff a hiki ke holo ma hope o ko lākou makuahine.
A ma hope o 14 mau lā, hoʻomaka nā keiki hānau hou e aʻo e lele. No hoʻokahi pule holoʻokoʻa, ke hoʻāʻo nei nā nightjars liʻiliʻi e haku i ka ʻike paʻakikī o ka lele ʻana, a i ka hopena o ka pule ua hiki iā lākou ke lele iā lākou iho ma kahi mamao aku.
Hiki ke hoʻolōʻihi ʻia ka wā pūnana o ka nightjar i nā mahina kauwela āpau
A ma hope o 35 mau lā, i ka makahiki o hoʻokahi mahina a ʻoi paha, lele lākou mai kā lākou pūnana makua a hoʻomaka a noho kūʻokoʻa. ʻOiaʻiʻo, lilo lākou i mau mākua i hoʻokahi makahiki wale nō ma hope o ka hānau ʻana. ʻO ka ulu wikiwiki ʻana o nā moa e pili ana i kahi ola pōkole o ka nightjar - 6 mau makahiki wale nō.
