Excerpt: ...being the same as others of the former species; the eggs average a trifle lighter in color. 420b. Florida Nighthawk. Chordeiles virginianus chapmani. Range.--A smaller and paler form found in Florida and along the Gulf coast. No difference can be observed in the nesting habits of this as compared with the northern form and the eggs are indistinguishable. Page 267 NEST AND EGGS OF NIGHTHAWK. Page 268 420-421. 420c. Sennett's Nighthawk. Cordeiles virginianus sennetti. Range.--A very pale species with little or no tawny; found in the Great Plains from Texas north to the Saskatchewan; winters south of the United States. 421. Texas Nighthawk. Chordeiles acutipennis texensis. Range.--Mexico and Central America, breeding north to southern Utah and California. Grayish white. 422-424. The pattern of the marking of this species is finer and more mottled with rusty than the Nighthawk. Its habits do not differ to any extent from those of the preceding species; they lay their two mottled gray eggs upon the bare ground, often on the dry sand and in arid regions where they are exposed, with no protection, to the scorching rays of the sun. The eggs vary endlessly in extent of markings, some being very pale and others very dark gray, mottled with various shades of gray, brown and lilac. Size 1.10 x .75. SWIFTS. Family MICROPODID
