Wow what a capture!! It's an Owlet Nightjar a cool species. Despite the name it's actually not and Owl and some would argue not a nightjar either (although it's more closely related to nightjars than owls)

Hello PEdwards. You have 5 different species in this sighting. My suggestion is for the first one. We can only have one species per sighting. Click on the Edit button to remove the other 4 photos. Then re-input each of those 4 birds as separate sightings.
