Night-Hawk
American Tract Society Bible Dictionary
An unclean bird, Leviticus 11:16 Deuteronomy 14:15 . Its name seems to indicate voracity, and is therefore thought by many to point out the Syrian owl, a more powerful bird than the nighthawks, and exceedingly voracious; it sometimes attacks sleeping children.
