Nightjars are nocturnal birds and - being very well camouflaged - stay on the ground during the day. When it is dark they fly out in search of insects.
The Savanna Nightjar likes open woodland and stony areas with scrub.

The Pantanal is a tropical wetland and the world's largest wetland of any kind. The Pantanal ecosystem is also thought to be home to 1000 bird species, 400 fish species, 300 mammalian species, 480 reptile species and over 9000 different subspecies of invertebrates.
The savanna hawk feeds on small mammals, lizards, snakes, crabs and large insects. It usually sits on an open high perch from which it swoops on its prey, but will also hunt on foot, and several birds may gather at grass fires.

Wild and the perfect face for Carnival... lol!
The Savanna Hawk is widespread raptor of open country habitats throughout the lowlands of tropical and subtropical South America. Like other members of the genus Buteogallus, the Savanna Hawk has a broad diet, and consumes a wide range of prey including small mammals, birds, crabs, frogs, toads, lizards, snakes and large insects. Its foraging strategy is equally diverse, and it will capture prey on the wing, from perches, or even by stalking on foot. Savanna Hawks can often be found walking through burning fields, a few feet behind the flames, searching for toasted prey. It is also the most distinctive member of Buteogallus: the plumage of other species predominately is black, but the plumage of the Savanna Hawk is a crisp cinnamon overall, with considerable gray patterning overlaying a rufous body.
Have a Peaceful Friday!

Well not quite the Savanna, it’s North Lincolnshire, but I thought it looked Savanna..ish.
I actually wanted to shoot with the sun nearer to the tree, or even behind it, but they were working on the field lifting the potatoes, and so I couldn’t get to my preferred position. However, given the strung out flight of the birds, it hasn’t worked out too badly.
A three shot panorama, stitched in Lightroom. Normally I would shoot panoramas with the camera in portrait orientation, but with the moving birds I needed to work fast and so stuck with landscape orientation.

Grass Wind savanna
In this vast land
I walk fearlessly to the edge
That's why every point I step
Is the starting point of everything I've done
Glowing
Until the ripples disappear

Distressed Fx and Carbon apps used. My thanks to L & S Hasyj for all the African pics they have gifted me.

This young Savanna Hawk is one of several species of raptors that we encountered during our Pantanal trip this month. They were fairly common during the trip and we usually saw them sitting on top of bushes in large open areas keeping an eye on things.

One of our overnight stops on the way to Bahia Honda is Highlands Hammock State Park in Highlands County. This was the first of 20 sunrises that I shot during our 21 day camping trip. When I finished this shot and turned around there were four deer watching me. Heads raised high and four pairs of deer ears all pointed in my direction.
The Savannah Hawk, found across South America, preys on small mammals, reptiles, and insects. This medium-sized bird, with a wingspan of up to 4 feet, thrives in savannas, grasslands, and wetlands from Panama to Argentina.
Call him the lawn care specialist—every rodent in the savanna knows this hawk is on permanent patrol.
Saw these front-yard metal sculptures on a walk a few years ago. It was very strange to see near life-size zebras in the winter in southern Connecticut! Both the day and my shot lacked color and warmth. So I used PSE10 and pixlrexpress to give this faux savanna some vibrance. Details in tags.
