AI-generated Abstract

Observations on the breeding biology of the Pygmy Nightjar Nyctipolus hirundinaceus were conducted in the Caatinga regions of Bahia and Ceará, Brazil. This study provides the first detailed records of egg and chick development, encompassing data on nesting habits, egg laying dates, and their relationship with local seasonal conditions. Findings indicate a preference for early and late rainy seasons for breeding, along with the significance of flat rocky outcrops as preferred nesting sites.
