[JAC: Here we go again! I can’t stop the man. . . But don’t spoil it in the comments just yet; you can say if you’ve found it, but all will be revealed in time ]
by Matthew Cobb
Two for the price of one, both posted by @ProjectNightjar on Tw*tter. The first is pretty straightforward:
I found the first one and think maybe the second one but can’t be sure.
The first one is indeed easy. Not sure what I’m seeing in the second.

What if this is all for JAC’s new illustrated children’s book, “Find the Nightjar” :-0
Making either photo into a 1000-piece puzzle would provide an extremely difficult and gratifying challenge for the jugsaw afficianado.
The loathsome damned things only frustrate me. As does trying to spot this bird that allegedly is within the photo’s. I stress “allegedly.”
“jigsaw”, of course
That would make a great joke speaker gift for Jerry. It can’t all be cat swag. 🙂
They can’t be real nightjars, they were too easy to find. Natural selection would eliminate their genes from the population quick-smart if they persisted in lying around in the foreground like that.
The 2nd one is not easy, but I think I got it. Both are sitting the same way, facing the same direction, and both have their eyes closed.
Got both!
This almost calls for champagne.
And scotch.
Neat.
I think there was a last minute substitution of nightjars just before they had their penalty shoot out.
Two nightjars spotted.
I think I found both…a first for me!
I found the first one, maybe the second. I’m always worried that there is no nightjar, meaning I’ve been staring at a picture of plants and dirt for ten minutes.
If Matthew ever does that to us, I’ll suspect he is pure evil, which I will respect somehow because well played.
You suddenly made me second-guess the last one.
Dammit, Frank! I already broke out the bubbles!
Haha sorry about that! Sometimes after the reveal, I realize the nightjar I thought I saw was a rock. So now I’m more uncertain.
As if we’re not all stressed out enough over the footie!!;-)
I use this particular game as an opportunity to indulge in viewing google images for nightjars. No wonder Matthew loves these birds, they are beauties.
The first one was easy, the second one took me several minutes, but I got it. My problem is that now I’m seeing the third one…
OMG!!! I think I spotted them both! Will wonders never cease?
The first one was easy, I have yet to find the second…
They are both pretty straightforward.
Whew! 🙂
Is the 2nd one much smaller than the 1st one? Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2014 21:14:51 +0000 To: merilee@sympatico.ca
Not much. Try looking for that characteristic closed eye.
I only see one possible one which is facing the opposite direction of the first one??
My eyes are telling me the second bird is oriented the same way the first one is.
Maybe I see it now, but certainly wouldn’t stake my life on it..( damn you, Matt Cobb:-))
Got ’em, but both pics look just like my morning walks, right down to the bean tree leaves!
Bean tree leaves? Around here last year’s Arbutus leaves are falling and look much the same. If there are nightjars here, they are much better at hiding than these ones.
Both are facing to our left.
