The nightjars are by far the largest family in the order and are spread throughout the world.

Birds of New Guinea
New Guinea, the largest tropical island, supports a spectacular bird fauna characterized by cassowaries, megapodes, pigeons, parrots, kingfishers, and owlet-nightjars, as well as the iconic birds of paradise and bowerbirds.
