Can you identify this adorable nocturnal creature? Cool things about this bird: (1) it doesnt make a nest, (2) it has modified feathers that act like whiskers to help it detect prey at night, and (3) its one of the few birds in North America that can hibernate (go into torpor by slowing its metabolism) when it doesnt get enough to eat (like in the winter when its insect prey isnt active). Any guesses? -Ranger Kate
