Habitat
Sickle-winged Nightjar is typically found in a variety of dry upland habitats, including gallery forests, chaco woodlands, and dry grasslands. Initially thought to be associated with marsh edges, it is now understood that such observations may have been influenced by the nearness of its preferred upland habitats to marshes, leading to a revision of the species' habitat preferences.
