Darlene, see Don's post about; in the family Caprimulgidae. Birds that you have in the USA. Common NightHawk is one
We have spur-winged plovers here but they are apparently Lapwings.
Our other plovers are indeed dotterels.

We occasionally get common poorwill sightings in San Diego, but I haven't seen one.
I saw my nemesis bird today, the wandering tattler. However, I haven't gotten a photo of him, so he's still a nemesis for my bird photography.
Edited to add: I found some Nene only a block from the hotel. It was too dark to get pictures, so I will try over the weekend. The feral cats and a mongoose were bothering them.
