Caprimulgidae

Chordeiles minor (MGT) : breeds in North and Central America and overwinters in South America as far as central Argentina ( Sick, 1983; Cleere, 2016). It has many subspecies and one of them, C. m. chapmani, overwinters in central Brazil and northern Argentina (GROMS, 2008). All Brazilian records, including photographic, vocal and collected specimens are restricted to September to April ( Albano & Girão, 2011; Costa et al., 2011; d’Horta, 2011; WikiAves, 2016, MZUSP, MPEG, MNRJ). However it is important to emphasize that photographic record must be carefully analysed due to the difficulty in distinguishing this species from C. acutipennis .
