only account of the nest of the brown nightjar was of a bird apparently incubating or brooding on top of an arched frond of a Raphia palm in the Central African Republic. Nesting above ground is rare in Caprimulgidae and is apparently a secondary development from ground nesting, as no nest-building or other special adaptations are known to be involved. Clutches are of one or two eggs, typically a single egg in tropical species and two eggs or variably one or two in others. More
