Boulder County Audubon Society Presents
The American Goatsuckers: Nightjars: Legends, Lore, and Lives
A Talk by Jared Del Rosso
🦉 Date: 03/25/25
đź“Ť Location: Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder & Online via Zoom
đź•– Time: Doors open at 7:00 PM | Program begins at 7:15 PM
With their famous songs and nocturnal habits, nightjars—including
the Eastern Whip-poor-will, Common Nighthawk, and Common Poorwill—are among
the most iconic birds in the U.S. For centuries, they have shaped music,
poetry, and literature while also connecting people to the landscapes they
call home. However, nightjar populations are in decline, making them
increasingly difficult to see and hear.
Join Jared Del Rosso, cultural sociologist, birder, and nightjar
enthusiast, as he explores the legend, lore, and lives of these mysterious
birds. Drawing from research for his upcoming book on Whip-poor-wills, Del
Rosso will discuss how understanding nightjars can deepen our connection to
local landscapes and histories—and help us appreciate this threatened
family of birds before it's too late.
