This could be a nighthawk or a chuck wills widow. Both nest on ground. She is sitting on her nest. Both are members of nightjar family. Probably more likely to be chuck wills widow as we have many in area. Can anyone weigh in on opinion? Thanks

First: This cold, wet baby chick was covered in mites and might have come out of the nest too early, so we got rid of the mites and put him back in the nest. Second: A full fledgling. (The net around its neck is just garden netting to keep out the chickens—the chick is completely fine and ducked right out.) This fledgling is trying to survive in the rosemary bush.
