This bird was found in Everglades last week. Was told might be Nighthawk. I think it is Whip-poor-will

Looks like a nighthawk to me.

Bill,
Probably an Eastern Whip-poor-will. Would be common for you in the winter. The Common Nighthawk typically visits your area in the summer. Do you have any other photos?

Just my WAG! Nice find.

I agree with Eastern Whip-poor-will.
