What North American birds can fly at night. Owl, whip-o-will, what others?
All birds can fly at night if they chose too…but most sleep through the night. Many birds migrate at night as well. It cuts down on water loss and dehydration, so they fly longer without stopping and fly greater distances. You might have wanted to ask which others birds are nocturnal. Other birds in the Caprimulgidae family (whip-poor-will family) are nocturnal as well, this includes poorwills, nighthawks. nightjars, and the Pauraque.
