   Common Nighthawk. Note the bird is brown, the belly is white, and the brown underwing with white spot.

     It sounded and flew like a jay/woodpecker, but it looks like a Common Nighthawk.
     A Common Nighthawk (or similar species) has been seen once since flying over the robins.

       Hmm. I would listen to the sounds of all the nightjar-like birds in your area. (I don’t really know about Canada birds.)
