CPW rescues several common nighthawks in the Pikes Peak area - KRDO

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Within 24 hours, Colorado Parks and Wildlife rescued three common nighthawks in the Colorado Springs area.

According to CPW, two were stranded on the ground. The third was hit by a car and pinned to the grill.

CPW says it's not unusual to see the birds in the area during this time of year.

Common nighthawks migrate south to Brazil after a summer of mainly breeding across North America.

Despite their name, CPW says common nighthawks are not raptors, they're nightjars. These birds spend their days on the ground and fly, catching insects in flight.

According to CPW, the common nighthawk is in trouble. Common nighthawk numbers are down 61% as pesticides kill mosquitoes and other aerial insects the birds feed on.

Also, the birds are experiencing habitat loss, including open rural woods and flat gravel rooftops in urban areas.

CPW says they are also getting hit by cars as they forage over roads or roost on roadways at night.

The three rescued common nighthawks were taken to a rehabilitation facility.

CPW shared a video of an official holding one of the birds.

The symptom of pleuritis that you may experience is severe, often sharp, stabbing pain in a specific area or areas of your chest. The pain, which is called pleurisy, is made worse when you take a deep breath, cough, sneeze, or laugh. You may also experience shortness of breath. Sometimes an abnormal amount of fluid will build up in the space between your lungs and your chest wall; when it leaks out it is called a pleural effusion. Pain from pleurisy, with or without effusions, is found in 40 to 60 percent o...

FBS Review 2024: Read Before You Trade | FXEmpire - FX Empire

I checked FBS's trading and non-trading costs and determined that they meet the industry average. The broker offers floating spreads from 0.9 pips and commission-free trading. Deposits and withdrawals are charge-free, but there is a small inactivity fee. The pricing mechanism is suitable for high-frequency trading. FBS's Trading Fees FBS's Spreads I tested FBS's spreads during the most actively traded times – the London open at 8:00 a.m. GMT and just after the U.S. open at 2:45 p.m. GMT. The test was conducted on 27 December 2023.
