The animal on the cover of Making Embedded Systems is a great-eared nightjar. Greateared nightjars are members of the family Caprimulgidae and inhabit subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests in Southeast Asia.
Great-eared nightjars are crepuscular, meaning mostly active at dusk and at night, during which time they satisfy their diets of flying insects and moths. Their calls are a distinctive, sharp “tissk,” followed by a two-syllable “ba-haw.”
These birds have pronounced ear tufts, which, in addition to their average length of 16 inches, make them more conspicuous among nightjars. Their soft gray and brown plumage resembles their preferred habitat, leaf litter and bracken. They lay their eggs either directly on bare ground or in leaf-litter nests on the ground. Nightjar nestlings have been observed to be completely silent and motionless, which, in addition to their leaf-colored plumage, may help protect them from danger while nesting.
