According to Wikipedia “Caprimulgidae are a family of birds consisting of around 95 extant species of nightjars." Digging a little deeper, we learn from Libération that "the word caprimulgidae comes from the Latin caprimulgus, literally meaning 'goat sucker.' In his famous Natural History, Buffon tells us that “peasants used to believe that the nightjar, a bird of twilight, entered barns at nightfall to suckle milk from livestock.” Originally, the nightjar was simply a bird, later transformed by…
